Chanted the crowd: "Earle for President in 1940!" Whether this made John L. Lewis smile, no one has said. But that the "LEWIS-ROOSEVELT BREAK IS HINTED'' headlined in Tuesday's New York Times made Lewis frown, no one needed to say. For the warning appeared over the signature of the Times' Louis Stark, dean of U. S. Labor reporters and a man not given to crying wolf...
...Danish castle which William Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote Hamlet was Kronborg Castle, whose sombre walls and pinnacles frown across the narrow sound between Sweden and Denmark. A state property for centuries, the old place was a military barracks until ten years ago, when it became a marine museum.

Ever since the celebrated Farley-Roosevelt airmail cancellation, the Post Office has been as capricious with the airlines as a young girl is with her suitors.

Sister Elizabeth, as played by Muriel Kirkland, is a far more sensible and sophisticated young woman. She, together with her rattle-brained, match-designing mather and the bloated Lady Catherine de Bourgh, are perhaps the only female characters noticeably touched...
...Ethiopia. Countess Edda was accompanied by her husband, Il Duce's protégé: the Italian Foreign Minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano. This amiable and rather plump young man has had difficulty in acquiring the mien of his father-in-law the Dictator, but has now learned to frown almost without visible effort. It was a proud moment when even the U. S., British and French ministers to Austria raised their wine glasses as Chancellor Schuschnigg proposed the toast to Mussolini's new Empire-even though these three diplomats set down their glasses without drinking...
