...Minister Terauchi did Navy Minister Nagano refuse to back him. His reason, and he was probably right, was that he thought that he and Terauchi would more easily get the present Diet to vote three billion yen ($850,000,000) for the Army & Navy than perform the same feat with a Diet elected by more or less angry Japanese voters who knew the Army had forced dissolution. In Tokyo, however, it is almost impossible for a Cabinet to exist if either or both Army and Navy Ministers do not pull with the Cabinet, and the Hirota Cabinet resigned. This week...
...short while, but a heavy frost set in soon afterwards. Nineteen eleven was the last time that crews were able to work on the river from February until spring. Whether or not Tom Bolles has brought some of his warm Washington weather with him it looks as though that feat might be duplicated. It is significant that in that year's race at New London the Varsity handed Yale a five-lengths defeat...
...less ambitious feat of imagination, Playwright Anderson has given High Tor a young owner named Van Dorn (Burgess Meredith, who also lives within a couple of rifle shots of the hill).

Their problem is resolved in a wild night during which Van meets a 17th Century Dutch girl named Lise (Peggy Ashcroft...
This was a British journalistic feat probably never before equaled and perhaps never to be surpassed in reversing at the start the biggest news story of the Empire last week. The dispatch contained no particulars of the alleged "enthusiasm" of Indians for the Coronation and this was presumably confined to pukka sahibs in the privacy of their homes. At the Congress sessions last week the Mahatma spoke with his usual mystic benevolence...
...Brownlow. Last week correspondents rather got to like his way of saying "Upon my word of honor, you may take it, Gentlemen" but when they pieced together such facts as there were, these would seldom or never fit what the Lord-in-Waiting had said. Brownlow's greatest feat was to go for a long ride with Mrs. Simpson, closely followed by correspondents, and alight to vow on his sacred honor as an English Lord-in-Waiting that "not a single word" had passed the lips of Mrs. Simpson. She had been seen moving them at Lord Brownlow brightly...
