After watching their fifth column's maneuvers for three weeks (TIME, May 6 et ante), Dutch military authorities last week swooped down on suspect strongholds in The Hague, Haarlem, Amsterdam. They carted away and interned 21 Nazis, Communists, etc., including National Socialist Party Editor M. M. Rost van Tonninggen, member of The Netherlands Second Chamber. That something was afoot in the Low Countries was indicated by the fact that within 24 hours the Belgian Government put visa requirements in effect on her Netherlands and Luxembourg frontiers, arrested two Flemish Nationalists...
...Newmarket he broods: "I herd with the vilest and stupidest and most degraded of beings. ..." After an evening with encyclopedic Thomas Babington Macaulay, Greville ranks himself with the worms, compares his mind to "a hurdy-gurdy in the Street" and Macaulay's to "the great Organ at Haarlem...
Last October the New York Times headlined a story: ALEKHINE'S MOVE STIRS CHESS FANS. This was no arrant sensationalism. Dutchman Max Euwe, chess champion of the world, was defending his title against One-time Champion Alexandre Alekhine.

The first indication that the author's Percy Blakeney is going to turn out to be just what movie-goers of today think him, comes in the narrative during Percy's first day at Harrow, in his twelfth year...
...sensation to put his show into the news columns. Among the canvases in Detroit was a small self-portrait of Frans Hals, baggy-eyed, slightly disheveled (see cut). It had just been sold by Manhattan's E. & A. Silberman Galleries to Dr. H. Klaus of Minneapolis. Helsingfors, Haarlem, and the Friedsam Collection in the Metropolitan Museum have other versions of the same picture. The last has always been considered the original. Not so, cried Dr. Valentiner last week. The Klaus canvas, he maintained, was the only genuine...
