...roads from Hopkinton to a finish-line on Exeter Street-a good way is to finish eighth the year before. Jimmy Henigan was eighth in 1930, winner the next year; Paul De Bruyn was eighth in 1931, winner a year ago. In eighth place last year was a short, prudent Pawtucket, R. I. mill worker named Leslie Samuel Pawson who trains for marathons not by drinking beer like many of his confreres but by total abstinence from alcohol and tobacco, long runs around Pawtucket when he gets through work. Last week Leslie Pawson started off smoothly with a group bunched...

Readily accessible in his office at No. 14 Wall St., he is not suspicious or wary of people who come to sell him things, but keenly alert for interesting and constructive ways...
...Admiralty Arch and its iron gates (which prudent bobbies had locked) stood like Gibraltar while Admiral Nelson looked down from his Trafalgar Column and saw the line of bobbies hold. A second mob, however, had rushed down Whitehall, 5,000 strong, heading for No. 10 Downing St., the residence of Prime Minister MacDonald. This mob was briefly checked, until police reserves could rush up and beat it back, by a thin line of ornate, scarlet-coated heroes, the Royal Horse Guards?erroneously supposed by tourists to be good for nothing but the ceremony of "changing the guard...
