...Charles Michelson in his regular Democratic National Committee publicity hand-out to the press, "Dispelling the Fog," added some to a moot question: "When they are not talking about the hopeless viciousness of the New Deal principles nowadays, they are invoking the old favorite fable of Roosevelt seeking a dictatorship. And then they trot out the old bogey of a third term. . . . Obviously, the President cannot in advance decline a renomination that may never be offered him. Just as obviously, with the world in such a turmoil as it is today outside of this continent, it cannot be forecast whether...
...recent appointee to the bench at the chair farthest to the left of the Chief Justice, who sits in the middle. Since 1916, Justice Brandeis' old bronze reading lamp has gradually moved closer to the centre. Now the oldest Justice on the Court, he sits on the left hand of snowy-bearded Charles Evans Hughes, who Brandeis privately tells friends is the best Chief Justice he has known. Since 1916, nothing closer to a further questioning of Justice Brandeis' fitness as a member of the Court has occurred than the President's suggestion last year that...
Last week A. L. P.'s were the only party headquarters to receive a post-election visit from Mayor LaGuardia.

Last week they landed forces along the southern edge under cover of thick fog. Surprised Chinese battled the Japanese landing parties hand-to-hand, but the Son of Heaven's troops gained a solid footing, preparatory to Japanese efforts to nip off Shanghai from the rest of China by closing pincers from the North and South, now that Japan's frontal attack has failed to take Shanghai for 13 weeks. This week...
Phillips Brooks House, St. Paul's Church, and other local welfare organizations are already taxed to their utmost. Although they might supply workers, they can make no initial investment. The University, on the other hand, owns several vacant lots near Leverett and Dunster Houses, and farther out by the Maintenance Building. The cost of equipping these lots as playgrounds, with swings and possibly a pair of goal-posts, would be slight, and, if a genuine effort were made in this direction, perhaps the City of Cambridge could be persuaded to lend more help to these youngsters than it does...
