...Hesperus") and Gloucester, behind Cape Ann, through Casco Bay and up the jagged coast of Maine toward Eastport, Franklin Roosevelt last week piloted his 45-ft. Amberjack II on the sportiest, saltiest vacation the country had ever watched its President take. He dressed in old flannel trousers and a grey sweater under oil skins. He did not bother too much about shaving. Sun and spray tanned his face, widened his grin. He smacked over codfish balls, baked beans, brown bread. And even the crustiest old Down Easterners had to admit that he was a crackerjack seaman under full sail...
Recognition, with no strings attached. Nebraska's grey-thatched, vehement Senator George William Norris urged in Washington last week. Seasoned observers pointed out that the issue is actually not recognition but credits. Only in case the R. F. C. or some other great font of U. S. credit is opened to the Soviet Union would U.

Twenty-four pounds lighter but scot free, Charles Edwin Mitchell took his wife off to the plutocratic quietude of Southampton, L. I. last week.

Anderson in a nip & tuck election. Mayor Anderson had kept Minneapolis from seeing Crazy Quilt, Fanny Brice's raw revue. He had vetoed the city's beer ordinance, sent citizens to St. Paul for Sunday drinks. Many a Minneapolitan, weary of reform, turned hopefully...
Lying now in the darkness, alone with his frozen body, Bellower Humphries thought of crying out for help, discovered that his famed lungs and larynx still functioned. He bellowed. No one came. He kept on bellowing at intervals as grey light came to dispel the suffocating darkness, as the sun climbed & climbed into the sky. It was not until 10 a. m. that a neighbor who lived across the street finally heard the bellows, rushed over to find Joe Humphries sweating and shivering...
