...neat little gallery of J. B. Neumann, chubby, sage and glowing enthusiast of 30 years' standing for "new" art, art lovers were greeted with the unusual spectacle of an exhibition composed wholly of old masters. They were, advised Dealer Neumann, "choice examples of living art, works of older periods that deserve to survive for their great vitality and imaginative appeal." In a medieval painting of St. Mark by an unknown Austrian artist, visitors could find a cubistic treatment of planes; in a fantasy by the Flemish painter Pietr Huys, Carnival Scene, were strange suspensions of rods and dangling objects...
Next year, when the presidency fell vacant, the disgruntled directors put Salesman Sandy Calder in the job on six-months' probation. He cut salaries and expenses $100,000 at once, shifted to imported pulp, at year's end had a neat $112,500 profit. A price war next year produced a deficit again, but since then Union has enjoyed steady profits. However, to take the drastic steps needed to catch up with the bag revolution, Sandy Calder needed control of the company. He and Brother Lou Calder, now president of Perkins-Goodwin, bought Union common stock steadily...
...than this proportion it can be detected. Thus if a man weighing 160 lb. drinks 20 drops of heavy water, the excess of deuterium will show in his urine. Biologists have been quick to see that, with two kinds of hydrogen atoms as distinct as red and green, a neat method was available for tracing the course of hydrogen-bearing compounds in body processes. Scientists in Germany have already found by this means that half the water which they drank stayed in their bodies nine days, although some was excreted...

But listeners who knew him were pleased that the judges had awarded the $1,000 to one who would not write skin-deep music for anyone's money. Son of a poor Russian violinist who brought him to Manhattan's East Side as a baby, Composer Gruenberg...
...soaked the players the first day. Oldtimer Francis Ouimet, who won the Amateur in 1914 and again in 1931, found his ball as unmanageable as an eel, dropped out with an 85 But another oldtimer. Charles ("Chick") Evans, who held the title in 1916 and 1920, ran off a neat 74 on the mushy course in the first round of his 28th national championship. It was Evans' quarter-final match (against the defending champion, young Johnny Fischer) however, which stirred sentimentalists like Grantland Rice most profoundly. The match was delayed when a careless caddy taking a practice swing struck...
