...Republican ticket against Jimmy Walker for Mayor, bringing charges of malfeasance against Walker which initiated the Seabury investigations. Last week his downtown Italian district went Democratic, failed to return him to Congress. He likes to mix salads, play the trombone and will fight at the drop of a hat. Making four speeches to McKee's one, he did not let his opponent's charges go long unnoticed. He, too, had pledged charter reforms and at the Harvard Club had impressed many of his conservative listeners, to whom his past radicalism was the cause of grave suspicion, with...
...this case the Corsican comes to life in a wax works under the torrid gaze of a film actress (Lenore Ulric). He makes a date with her for the evening, borrows Woodrow Wilson's top hat, Mussolini's sponge-bag trousers and with some advice given by Landru, the wife-murderer, sets off to the assignation. Some French generals hear of the resurrection, insist that the Little Corporal make all Europe French. After a visit to a disarmament conference, a few experiences with radios and telephones, Napoleon goes back to the wax works in disgust. All this...

Mr. Hopson had merely gone to Bowling Green, Ky. in August, had caught intestinal influenza, had then gone to Chicago "to be with his sister." Last week Mr. Hopson, rotund and smiling, appeared before the Senators, blithely announcing that he had brought a "truckload" of papers for examination. Mr. Pecora insisted that the truckload be carted back to Manhattan to be examined in Mr. Hopson's offices...
...idly leafed a copy of "Dichtung und Wahreit" which belonged to the bedraggled sycophant. "Just as these strange inscriptions will interest the historians of two thousand years from now. From this flyleaf they will reconstruct a picture of Professor "Waltz," smoking an unusual under-slung pipe and wearing a hat as he lectures on the Sesenheim idyll. And perhaps correctly they will surmise that the student was bored and undutiful, since he filled the cover with diagrams of football plays...
