Thus was established what newly elected President Homer Martin called "a democratic, autonomous, clean union." His inference was that the other part of the United Automobile Workers of America which in the recent split (TIME, Feb. 6) remained with C. I. 0. has none of these qualities, although it undoubtedly has a clear majority of organized autoworkers...
...office of President was created, oddly enough, by a monarchist bloc in 1875. They wanted a job which could easily be turned into a throne. Theoretically the President has great powers, actually none. He is elected to a seven-year term and can succeed himself, but only one President has tried. He is expected to be seen rather than heard. He plays host to foreign notables, receives ambassadors, launches ships, opens hospitals, unveils war monuments, throws parties for poor children, meddles not at all in politics.

Like all but a handful of league hockey players, 35-year-old Eddie Shore is a Canadian and a scrapper. In his time he has overdone the latter, as a result has none of his own teeth left. His nose has been broken ten times. In one fracas with the Maroons six years ago he got his nose, jaw and four ribs broken, a twisted knee, two shiners. It was by accident that he upset Toronto's "Ace" Bailey in 1933, fracturing his skull, but his reputation was against him. He drew a 46-day suspension, spent most...

Though not at all irreverent, Family Portrait has none of the feeling that went into painting The Last Supper; rather the cleverness that goes into engraving the Lord's Prayer on the head...
...brief return to power in 1932 when he swung the Roosevelt-Garner nomination. But Roosevelt would have none of Hearst, so Hearst turned to snarl at the "Raw Deal" and even boosted his old enemy, Al Smith, for President. Hearst staked his "reputation as a prophet" on Landon's election in 1936. When Roosevelt was reelected he tried to do a turnabout, but nobody cared any more...
