...read with much amusement and quite a little regret your graphic and colorful sketch of my old friend J. Duncan Spaeth in a recent issue of your excellent journal [TIME, April 13] Parts of it are fair and true. There can be no doubt that this versatile scholar and forceful figure and leader of men is careless of his appearances, and well might be likened to a shaggy Airedale.

At Leipzig last week...
...hastened to Mr. Lawrence's side with the cry: ''[Mr. Roosevelt] is showing again the Roosevelt who can't 'take it' - the man who when he meets with criticism is moved by the desire to crush his critics by means foul or fair." To this the loudly pro-Roosevelt New York Post responded : "No President in American history has 'taken' more and taken it with better grace than Franklin D. Roosevelt. . . .
