...this unsavory affray threatened to raise a scandal at Stateville equal to the one created two years ago by revelations of vice and perversion at New York City's Welfare Island Prison (TIME, Feb. 5, 1934). Even non-partisan citizens wondered if it were customary at Stateville to pamper wealthy prisoners, place perverts in positions of authority...
...bodied Fermata girl leaps into special "fire clothes," goes shinnying down a pole for fire drill. (The small boys in Aiken Preparatory School do it too, though most of them fall off sleepily.) Rich Fermata girls do not swagger; all wear green tunics by day. Nor may their parents pamper them; only one meal a weekend is allowed outside of grounds; and no candy except just after lunch in the "candy shop" (an old closet). The school is divided into three houses, with colors grey, red and green. Fermata takes for its own Harrow's famed song, "Follow...

There every day, whether he liked it or not, St. Gandhi received a tender but thorough physical examination by a corps of British physicians. As during the illness of George...
...damnable thing that our fellow citizens should be allowed to feed their vanity on a dish which dulls and warps the brain. If there is a law against this, I should like to see TIME advocate its strict enforcement. If there is none, at least do not swell and pamper vanity by giving to the snatchers after Chinese, Papist or French ribbons the free publicity in which they dote. REGINALD SUTTON...
