...Memorial Highway. On the highway at Jamestown, the county seat, stands one modern brick building-the Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute. Not in the Institute last week was its founder, Fentress County's beefy, red-headed first citizen. He sat in gloomy exile at his farm at Pall Mall, six miles away...
From Pall Mall, last week, Sergeant York grimly began to round up his friends in the State Legislature, persuade them to take the Institute out of the hands of the School Board and turn it over entirely to him.

Fortnight ago the London Daily Mall published an anonymous confession by a "kind-eyed, elderly country doctor" stating that, for mercy's sake, he had done away with two defective newborns and three agonized adults (TIME, Nov. 18). Last week the storm of controversy and comment blown up by the Mail's story roared on in the world Press. In England famed William Ralph Inge, morose one-time dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, signed his name to an opinion that euthanasia (painless death) administered to incurables is "not contrary to Christian principles."
