...World, spectacularly illustrates the Hal Roach theory of evolution-when Cave Boy meets Cave Girl there is a big improvement in mankind's table manners. Early in 1,000,000 B. C. Cave Boy is still tearing off hunks of roast triceratops, scrambling up a high rock to squat and gnaw. By 999,999 B. C. Cave Girl has him eating out of a clam shell.

...dictatorship (TIME, Jan. 22). Detroit's radiorating Father Charles E. Coughlin loudly and specifically disavowed the Christian Front to which the captives belonged. The press dug up additional detail, indicating that the captive Christian Fronters were "awful" shots and mere blustering braggarts. Michigan's squat, swart Congressman Frank Hook tried to hook Red-daubing Martin Dies to people who were friendly to the Front, failed to excite a Congress in mourning for veteran Senator Borah (see above...
