...right, permit me to thank you for your clear, fair and newsworthy article on the William Jennings Bryan University and its first graduating class [TIME, June 25]. Mr. Bryan was an ordained elder in our Presbyterian Church U.S.A. and although he was hopelessly outvoted by a church which is fast slipping into Modernism and Apostasy, he was never afraid to inform the church of her danger, and in the face of ridicule and hostility, his superb moral courage showed that he feared God more than he feared man. The last cowardly slur with which an ungrateful America besmirched his memory...
Smarter than Robert Moses Grove, who depends almost entirely on throwing the ball so fast that batters cannot see it, Yankee Gomez is able to alternate his favorite pitch, a fast ball, with comprehensive curves. He throws a baseball faster and behaves less strangely than the Cardinals' Dizzy Dean, who amuses himself on hot days by lighting a little fire in front of the bench and pretending to be an Indian, who is so popular that when he pitches the club's advertisements say: "Dizzy Dean - in person."

Major Albert Warner, in charge of distribution, told what his brother Jack, in charge of production, had prepared for 1934-35; Barbara Stanwyck in Willa Gather's A Lost Lady, a sequel to I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang called I'm Back in the Chain Gang; Sinclair Lewis' Babbitt, with Guy Kibbee; Anthony Adverse; Dolores...
...never one to predict whether I'll win nor can I forecast a record. I hear the track is fast and I'm glad of that." So said Glenn Cunningham, University of Kansas senior, as he arrived in Manhattan last week for Princeton's "perfect race." That race was to include three of the greatest milers of the day-Pennsylvania's Gene Venzke, Princeton's Bill Bonthron and Cunningham. The Kansan followed his custom of not bothering to practice. His legs, burned so badly when he was a child that doctors doubted if he would...
