...fact that Mr. Landon was discussing national and international problems in his speech of Oct. 19, it seemed very petty and inconsequential to refer to his pronunciation in the reporting of that speech (TIME, Nov. 1). But since General Johnson and TIME have begun it: Does it sound any worse for Mr. Landon to mispronounce the word "Roosevelt" than for Mr. Roosevelt to mispronounce the word "government," a word which he uses continually in his "fireside chats" and invariably pronounces "govermunt;" for Mr. Landon to say "attackted" than for Mr. Roosevelt to pronounce the word "again" with a long...

St. Lucy is 23 feet long, contains living quarters forward, and in the rear, a confessional, a chapel with a folding altar, which can be opened for outdoor meetings.

By last week Fathers Cunningham and Halloran were well accustomed to parking St. Lucy in likely spots, playing phonograph records to attract a crowd and then exhibiting about 50 minutes of religious movies with a 20-minute sermon sandwiched between. Said Father Cunningham before...
...appeared in his Cleveland Press column a picture of Critic Loesser, an other of Performer Loesser. Wrote critic of performer: "Mr. Loesser seems to have been bitten by the irritating bug of wanting to do something farfetched. . . . Mr. Loesser succumbed to his favorite vice, that of listening to the sound of his own voice. . . . The Scarlatti pieces were not badly done, chiefly, because their atmosphere of refined wisecracking is congenial with Mr. Loesser's personality...
