...TIME applauds Student Krisel's attempt but prefers Franklin Roosevelt's own plans of his Hyde Park "dream house." Some objections to the Krisel plan: the kitchen is too narrow, the pantry at the wrong end, windows badly spaced, partitions awkwardly arranged; and there is no way into the farther bedroom except through the nearer...
...Visitors from the East don't show much interest in Yosemite, the Redwoods or the orange groves, but they fall all over themselves to see evidences of our human phenomena-such as the folks at Aimee's Angelus Temple and on Hollywood Boulevard, the Iowans at Elysian Park, and supporters of the "$30-every-Thursday."

Furthermore, had a Hyde Park soap-boxer, any British newspaper publisher or even any member of Parliament revealed such a horrendous condition, he would have been clapped in jail under the Official Secrets Act. What happened to Mr. Hore-Belisha was nothing. His Government immediately got the second vote of confidence in two days (355-to-130), and the War Secretary prepared to send a "simple memorandum" of instructions to section commanders about how to behave in future...
