...Hitler last month some honest acknowledgment of the faults of the Versailles Treaty, Herr Hitler's reply to Mr. Roosevelt last week (see p. 18) might have been much shorter, less sarcastic. The President's omission gave Herr Hitler a fine opening to shoot over the Roosevelt shoulder at Woodrow Wilson, and students of debate could but admire the adroitness with which he seized this opening. Herr Hitler has never been noted for humor. To some unsung ghostwriter, perhaps, was due an Iron Cross for supplying cracks that made even non-Nazis smile wryly and which put Debater...
...comes from the Gilman School In Maryland, where lacrosse is on a par with football, has distinguished himself by agile footwork and speedy ball-handling. Great things were expected from Doug Anderson, the captain of the 1941 Freshman combine and an all-New England man at Exeter, but his shoulder was put out of commission in the Maryland game and he wrenched his ankle last Saturday and thus he has had little chance to prove his worth...

...piano; he also likes to fish and fly kites. When he built a $75,000 Tudor manor, he horrified the architect by refusing to have leaded windows. Said he: "I'm not going to have a view of 20 miles spoiled by tradition." Once, after he strained his shoulder chopping, a doctor arrived to find him standing in his living room clad only in khaki pants and moccasins, with green birch lice hopping playfully about his chest. He still held the ax in one hand; in the other, a book on philosophy which he was reading...
