...Hull hopefully declared to Congress last week (see p. 21), "there will no longer be need for spheres of influence, for alliances, for balance of power." The hopes of millions for such a world may be shattered unless these three great personal leaders succeed in establishing among themselves a solid bond of confidence in each other's good faith and good will...
...life. His early-morning routine has changed little: awake at 7:30; a quick but thorough go at the Washington and New York papers (he reads Columnists Clapper and Lippmann regularly); breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and milk; then, propped in bed in his year-round lightweight, solid-color pajamas, with a blue cape around his shoulders, a chat with his secretaries on the day's schedule. Despite their best efforts and the President's recurring resolutions to cut down, his daily list of callers always seems to grow longer. Franklin Roosevelt likes people and loves...
This week, the House was set to pass the bill outlawing food subsidies after Dec. 31. The Senate is sure to do likewise.

When mild-looking Victor Krulak was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1934 he was the smallest man in his class. He had a long Milquetoast nose, soft reddish hair, one constantly surprised eyebrow, and a solid reputation for whimsical understatement. Inevitably, he was called "The Brute." Last week, as a lieutenant colonel of the Marines, back from a brush with the Japs on Choiseul Island, The Brute was in line for a Navy Cross. His Marine paratroopers had harried and jabbed the Jap for a week, killed at least 144, wounded uncounted others...
