Marquis has, after all, a wonderful ability for characterization. No matter with whom he is dealing he does so sympathetically. Mister Splain, a village drunk, a backslider, chicken thief; Cherry Saltus, the stupid, over-sexed girl who turns the town upside down by her adventures; Jim Shale, the grave-digger who is guilty of being an unconfessed free-thinker--these people the author neither reproaches nor encourages. He merely shows them to you as he understands them, with all the power of his insight...
...with politics, Chip was meanwhile establishing a reputation as the Capital's greatest little mixer. After newshawks caught him and Presidential Secretary Marvin Mclntyre at a hotel room party given by the lobbyist for Utilitarian Howard Colwell Hopson, the roly-poly New Deal hobgoblin, Chip resigned.

His 50-yard efforts also have not been startling this winter. Jim Curwen is sure to take both sprints handily, Eric Cutler and Frannie Powers will prevail over any Lion men in the distances, and Rusty Greenhood should have no trouble with Jack Keating of the Blue. In fact, Keating may take third behind Crimson's Chet Sagenkahn if the latter continues his consistent work on the springboard. The Columbia...
