Stuffy McInnis, who flew into Syracuse last night along with 15 ball players and then proceeded to Ithaca, faces a strange situation. At the beginning of the season he said he was going to concentrate on fielding, with the result that Harvard had the best defensive team in the league but lacked hitting strength...
Noel F. Busch has written, instead of a biography, a zippy account of the founding of 'Time,' with special reference to the life of Briton Hadden. A good bit of that account is fascinating, but taken altogether, it does not make a satisfying book.

He and a German Jewish refugee doctor help a striking native laborer who has been injured; for this, the doctor is murdered by local reactionaries, and the police are blandly indifferent. Lieut. Gordon leaves...
