Sirs: To me it has not been evident that one should view with alarm TIME's selection of cuts for its magazine or its news items. And yet when I glanced over TIME, June 27, and found the cut of Slacker Bergdoll on p. 8 and an item concerning him in the same columns as mention such courageous men as Byrd, Lindbergh, Chamberlin and others under the division of National News it would seem that some of the criticisms of TIME have been justified.

And now (last April) Dan had married some one else. What the voters of Texas ought to know was just what part this new Mrs. Moody was going to play in the state if Dan were elected. Would it be a "Jiggs and Maggie" proposition? Jim made that sound like a question almost as serious as the Ku Kluxers, fondness for whom he ascribed to Dan Moody...
