Policeman Hoover has never been known to have had any woman-affair in New York City. A bachelor, he is seldom seen without a male companion, most frequently solemn-faced Clyde Tolson, his assistant. His reason: his dread that someone, some day, somewhere, will plant a naked woman in his path, try to frame...
Reason. The gigantic machine that Huey Long had built careened from scandal to scandal, as solemn John H. Overton gave way to independent, Huey-worshipping James Noe, as Noe gave way to paunchy Dick Leche, and Leche resigned for Huey's brother Earl, Sam Jones's fortunes improved: he built a $30,000 house in Lake Charles (population now: 30,000), fathered a son and a daughter.

...some what foggy dream. His new book, The Voice of Destruction, is an evidently hurried transcript of notes on Hitler's private assertions in 1932-34.

...head of Harvard's gowned seniors as they parade by John Harvard's statue in the Yard each commencement marches a solemn, gimlet-eyed figure, blocking off photographers' lenses from the graduating class. It is Charles Robert ("Colonel Charlie") Apted, Harvard's head "Yard cop." Charlie dearly loves to march in this parade: He also loves Harvard. Last week was one of mixed emotions for Charlie Apted. In Harvard's paneled old Memorial Hall 600 Harvardmen dined & wined him, the Harvard Glee Club sang Behold the Lord High Executioner and photographers' lenses blinked again...
...pale spirochetes of syphilis without killing their victim. Warner Brothers have long been afraid that the bullet might ricochet from the Hays Office, the State censorship boards, the U. S. cinemillions conditioned to regard any mention of syphilis as indecent. Consulted in advance, after a fortnight's solemn thought the Hays experts spoke. Their verdict: the word syphilis must be mentioned as seldom as possible in the picture; on no account must 606 be used in the title; where possible, other terms must be used...
