...Senior from the Freshman like a grand canyon, sometimes. Until a day or two ago we didn't realize how ripe and mellow, free from care and worry, three years and odd months at Harvard can make a fellow. With our thesis half completed and a ticket on the Monarch of Bermuda in the drawer, life was nothing but a brave new world of dreams. Yet suddenly a tale of horror struck a note of tragedy into our symphony of pleasure, stark tragedy crashed mightily about our cars...
...Regent in the event of His Majesty's "incapacitation" or death (TIME, Feb. 8) was urged with dignity in the House last week by Home Secretary Sir John Simon. As England's greatest lawyer, Sir John recalled how the insanity of King George III prevented that unfortunate monarch from assenting to the Regency Act made necessary by his madness.

Belittled Communist Gallacher: "There is a complete lack of confidence in the present monarch. . . .

As the Saint's Day was also that of all Spaniards who happen to be named Alfonso, plenty of Reds also celebrated in Red territory-for to many a Spaniard things superficially religious are basically just Spanish...
With bona-fide critics hailing Laughton's "Rembrandt" as a satisfying sequal to his jobs with the notorious Tudor monarch and the "Mutiny on the Bounty", and with the local half-shell philosopher disagreeing with editorial policy, as is his prerogative, and damning it as a fraud and a delusion, the spectator has no where to turn. For certainly "Rembrandt" is not a great picture. Laughton, overimpressed with his own impressiveness, talks in a whisper that makes flesh creep, while the whole theme of the artist's life seems too simple for him and yet too deep, and it evades...
