...Manhattan, Swedes proudly recalled that Crown Prince Gustaf is an excellent all-round athlete, an amateur archeologist of considerable practical ability, a tolerable singer and a vigorous champion of religious culture. His younger brother, the dramastist-poet Prince William, Duke of Sodermanland, is perhaps better known abroad (TIME, Oct. 19).

The cab swung round a corner with a strain that jerked open a faulty door. Pianist Stock, anxious to save trouble for the blue-jowled and beetling driver, reached forward to close the door.

Without a glance, he flung back his arm, caught the door, and savagely slammed it shut on the little finger...
