...during the past fortnight, the superlative D'Oyly Carte Company of the Savey theatre, London, is presenting Gilbert and Sullivan operation at the Colonial. The engagement, which opened on Monday evening, in to continue for four weeks, and the repertoire offered includes almost all the works when the famous par collaborated on--a collaboration which resulted in great artistic successes but also in a good deal of friction to the parties involved. After seeing so many worthy but undeniably amateurish Gilbert and Sullivan performances by buxom church choirs and struggling women's club members, it is a relief to find...
...being in order of their approval baseball, football, track, and hockey. The latter was given a first rating in 1913. With the move of the Athletic Committee colleges in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League, which includes Princeton, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Cornell, and Columbia, almost unanimously recognize the activity on a par with football and other chief sports...
...spoon shot that finished in the hole for a double-eagle 2 on the Augusta National's 485-yd. 15th hole. What Nelson did last week was not quite so spectacular but it was equally effective.

An amiable, quiet young man who looks faintly like Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Nelson took his ball...
After one more downward swoop that carried the latest Treasury issue nearly two points below par, the Government bond market leveled off last week for the first time since the decline began early last month (TIME, March 22). Widely regarded as marking the end of the long bull market in bonds and the start of an inflationary stage in Recovery, the drop in Governments was followed by the shelving of half a dozen corporate bond offerings and a general tightening of sensitive short-term money rates. By any normal standard money was still ridiculously cheap but the up trend...
