...newsmen felt confident that the Krock story was accurate in direction if not detail. Certainly it did not exaggerate the might & main which Franklin Roosevelt has been exerting to save the peace of the world. Last week Raymond Leslie Buell, research director of the Foreign Policy Association, went so far as to give Mr. Roosevelt full credit for averting war at least twice: last month and just before Munich (September...
Herr Hitler who has his press and polls under Nazi lock & key, made the error, so far as his U. S. audience was concerned, of caricaturing the free press of the U. S. and calling it a liar. The U.

Word has sneaked around that Jeff Fuller '38 has opened his own hot shop in New York City. Come, gentlemen, a little reciprocal trade between Harvard, what? Fuller knows his stuff about records...
