...Mexico City's Chapultepec golf course, 7,500 ft. above sea level in the shadow of 17,888-ft. Popocatepetl, mature peons with bare feet and huge straw hats caddy for sleek young Mexican businessmen, Rockefeller Foundation doctors, energetic members of the embassies. At Chapultepec last week, in the qualifying round of Mexico's national amateur championship, scores by Mexico's best golfers and a dozen U. S. visitors were almost as high as Mexico's best golf course. The medal went to Percy J. Clifford, Mexican-born Briton, for a 75. Johnny Goodman of Omaha...
...Belgium last week the vaguely liberal Cabinet of Premier-Professor Paul van Zeeland was physically threatened by sleek and slim young Leon Degrelle and his Rexists, the newly potent Belgian Catholic-Fascist movement which takes its name from Chrisfus Rex. The Rexist newsorgan, Rex, had just boldly admitted that M. Degrelle had visited Berlin a few weeks before.

St. Louis' hopes are high again for a series of concerts under Vladimir Golschmann, the sleek Franco-Russian who has built himself a strong Missouri following. The Los Angeles Philharmonic was driving for money last week and awaiting the return of towering Otto Klemperer. San Francisco stages its opera season first, but by midwinter the rejuvenated symphony will be playing again under the beneficent command...
...from Charleston Harbor this week chugged the sleek 72-ft. auxiliary schooner Indra, bound down the Atlantic coast to the Caribbean. Each of the crew of six boys who manned the Indra had paid $1,500 for the privilege of rigging her sails, holystoning her decks, polishing her brass every morning until June. When they return they will be examined, not as Able Seamen but by the College Entrance Examination Board...
