Primary season reached a peak this fortnight, with ten States going to the polls within eight days. In none except Tennessee (see p. 13) was heat generated equal to Kentucky's. The source of Kentucky's heat was a pitcher of ice water. For the closing hours of the race between Governor "Happy" Chandler and Majority Leader "Dear Alben" Barkley for the latter's Senate seat were enlivened by the "poisoning" of Candidate Chandler (TIME...
What made O. K. Bovard a great editor was his inflexible integrity. When Bovard ordered his most famous correspondent, Paul Y. Anderson,* to stop writing for The Nation four years ago, that hardhitting reporter took the order in good part, ridiculed the suggestion "that interests which I have treated none too tenderly" had finally caught up with his boss: "Don't believe a word of it.

Nor did Angelica work so closely with the others as with Mussolini in the days when the future dictator was editor of the Italian Socialist Party's central newspaper. Her picture of him- brooding, explosive, egocentric, enigmatic, alternately violent and timid-is the most interesting part of My Life as a Rebel, which is a long (324 pages) record of defeats and betrayals...
