...good friend of mine in Mussolini's town writes that for the past few days he has been inspecting musty back numbers of TEMPUS-newsmagazine, a smart publication in Roma of about 19 or 20 centuries ago, and he was interested to note that for their issue for the year 30 B.C. or thereabouts they had the picture of Cleopatra as Woman of the Year...
...Montague's private life modeled on his golf game. He lives in Beverly Hills with Comedian Oliver Hardy (284 lb.) whom he can pick up with one hand. When not in residence with Hardy he is "somewhere in the desert" where he is supposed to own a silver mine or gold mine. He has two Lincoln Zephyrs and supercharged Ford, specially geared for high speed. He is about 33, 5 ft. 10 in 220 lb. He is built like a wrestler, wit tremendous hands, bulldog shoulders and biceps half again as big as Jack Dempsey's. His face...
...legal points. One question raised by Harvester was whether the hours provisions applied to its other operations such as farm machinery or only to its truck plants.

M. Hence there was reason last week to believe U. A. W. assertions that the burgeoning G. M. sit-down strikes were, at least in part, spontaneous outbursts...
Extremely profitable to themselves, the Quins' cherubic features are not, however, the gold mine for NEA that might be supposed. NEA gives them to the 710 clients of its regular feature service at no extra charge, and now at a cost to itself of about $100,000 a year. Hearst thought the new $50,000 was too high, so NEA hurried around last week placing new Quin contracts. Takers included the Boston Post, Atlanta Journal, Detroit News and, for exclusive U. S. magazine rights, TIME...
