...track team and made another speech. In a corner sat a newshawk for the Swedish sports journal Idrottsbladet, taking down his words. What the reporter thought he heard the Minister say made headlines next day in Idrottsbladet. It was: "Be on your watch. The Swedes are a jealous nation and do not like to see foreign sportsmen triumph. Maribel Vinson [champion U. S. woman figure-skater from 1928 to 1934] was unfairly marked down by the judges, for a Swedish competitor to get a better placing." Actually, as Idrottsbladet scathingly pointed out, international judges rated sleek-legged Miss Vinson fifth...
...with the long shadows of a late afternoon sun. Franklin D. Roosevelt was going down to the sea. Going down with him were his wife, his four sons, newshawks, secret service men, many an official friend. Notably absent was his gruff, wrinkle-faced little No. 1 secretary, friend and jealous counselor, Louis McHenry Howe, who lay doubled up with a chronic stomach ailment on his White House bed.

Typical shot: the last, in which Menjou and Landi...

...Ovila Dionne was the thirty-first human mother known to have borne quintuplets (see p. 39). At Yale's 200-acre Anthropoid Experiment Station in Orange Park, Fla. last week was another mother who, with a record unique in biological annals, might well have been jealous of the hullabaloo over the Canadian woman and her offspring. Her name is Mona and she is a 21-year-old chimpanzee. At Orange Park on June 26, 1933, she gave birth to fraternal twins, male & female. The father was an 11-year-old brought from Africa by a sailor. Mona had spent...
