...gendarmes stumbled last week on two dead Italians whose throats had been slashed, whose bodies were riddled with bullets. Investigation had scarcely begun when inspectors of the Sûreté Nationale (Scotland Yard) suddenly stepped in and took charge of the case. For the dead men were no mere murdered tourists but the famed exiled Italian anti-Fascist Brothers Carlo & Nello Roselli. For years in Paris they have published Giustizia e Libertá, organ of fugitive Italian liberals. To the Sûreté their killing had all the earmarks of a political murder. The bodies were found...

Always the favorite in driving contests, bulky Jimmy Thomson of Shawnee, Pa., who can throw himself into his shot like a hockey player, was overanxious last week to substantiate his reputation.

The same device in physics might well produce the same desirable effect...

In Spain, the land where bulls are much more than bulls and matadors a little more than men, 1937 promised to be the worst season in history. Gripped by the passion of civil war, Spain had little time or temper for its national "sport." But to many an aficionado, the great days of bullfighting had already gone over the horizon with Joselito and Belmonte, long before the civil war closed most of the bull rings. To observers with long memories and high...
