...Duxford. This was made at the unusually high altitude for an air force review of 1,000 feet "because the king is greatly affected by noise." So were 150,000 spectators. Even at 1,000 feet the menacing clatter of the air armada filled Britons less with pride than fear. The great throng at the climax of the "Fly Past" seemed stricken dumb. Sober faces were eloquent of what everyone was thinking: "These are our planes, but they might be Germany...
Much as freedom-loving Frenchmen hate and fear a Dictator, their Chamber and Senate recently vested swarthy Premier Pierre Laval with dictatorial fiscal powers (TIME, June 17).

He has been not only a good policeman, but also a polite one, insisting that all SEC subordinates be courteous and cooperative. Doing business is infinitely more difficult than before the New Deal but bankers now know that it can be done...
Slowly, with terrible doubt and distress, Mrs. Fury awakened to a realization of Peter's worthlessness and irresponsibility. He had never wanted to be a priest. He had only studied out of fear of her. Old Dennis Fury said, "After all, he's only a boy," but Mrs. Fury could not forgive him, or stop loving and hating him. She sat up all night, staring vacantly at the shabby rooms, while her husband hovered nearby, helpless, pitying, irritated. In the depths of her anguish she tried to find release in work, scrubbed the crumbling house from...
