Ambassador Saito more or less endeared himself to the U. S. by drinking Scotch whisky and playing poker. Ambassador Kensuke Horinouchi's technique is even more bland, more thoroughly Americanized than that of his late classmate at the Imperial University. His conversation, like his countenance, is smooth and affable. A 28-year career man, aged 53, he was embassy secretary in London during the War, worked on the peace treaties afterwards. He was consul-general in Manhattan from 1931 to 1934, with homes in Greenwich, Conn, and on Park Avenue. Golf is his game; drinking and smoking...
...applied a drastic statute so literally that it has accumulated a fine roster of enemies. By his own inclination and by instruction from the President, Dr. Leiserson proposes to continue literal enforcement of collective bargaining, minus the harsh words now characteristic of NLRB. If his placating presence fails to smooth down A.

In front of him in the six position is Quinby Taylor, six foot, six inch giant, who, because of his height just about confines his rowing to his arms. This is accentuated by the unusually short stroke that Harvard crews use. He pulls the most water in the boat but seems to have trouble with timing his catch. He came up from the combination crew last spring...
Signer Mussolini's smooth answer was that his legionnaires, who had shed blood in the glorious Spanish campaigns, surely could not be expected to depart before they had marched down Madrid's Gran Via and Calle de Alcalá, along with 500,000 Spaniards, in a final salute to El Caudillo. And Italy could surely not be held responsible for Dictator Franco's delays. Last week the British and French began to suspect that Il Duce and El Caudillo were giving them the runaround, that Italian soldiers might remain in Spain just as long as Dictator Mussolini...
