Good-looking, self-confident, Reporter Brundidge, 36, is well liked by most St. Louis newsmen but sometimes suspected by his opponents of faking. His critics point to his ostensibly intimate interview with Gangster Al Capone at Miami- which Capone promptly denied (TIME, July 28). But his friends insist that Capone talked as reported, with the stipulation that he would deny it to save his own face.

THERE IS IN PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY MARYLAND A BULL WITH A TENOR BELLOW, BUT IT DOES NOT GIVE MILK, IN ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY A MILCH COW OF VERY COMBATIVE DISPOSITION. WOULD EITHER OF THESE DO? Protested Governor Evans : WE KNOW THAT BULLS DO NOT GIVE...
