Most picturesque exhibit is a full-scale Highland clachan squat in the middle of the fair's modernistic, pastel-shaded buildings. Like a Rob Roy setting, complete with the chief's castle, a smithy, an old fashioned inn, a bubbling burn and a 1150-ft. loch, the little village is peopled with tartan-clad Highlanders who obligingly raise a "hooech" and a skirl on the pipes for the wide-eyed visitors...
...cheers of the frenetic fans were an unfamiliar sound to the ears of squat, hardworking, 43-year-old Bill Stewart. Professionally accustomed to gibes and catcalls during a decade of umpiring, his nearest approach to popular acclaim was that, while coaching baseball at Boston University, he had made a catcher out of famed Mickey Cochrane. And Manager Stewart was a hero only for a day. After being kissed on his bald head last week by each of the whooping Black Hawks, who got $1,000 apiece for their victory, Hero Stewart went home. There he packed his blue-serge suits...
...mountain climbing made his African years memorable. First was the great, squat, "pudding-like" dome of Kilimanjaro, 19,710 feet, in Tanganyika, the highest mountain in Africa.

...braw and bracing cinema story directed by versatile young Robert Stevenson (Nine Days a Queen, Non-Stop New York), based on Alfred Ollivant's Bob Son of Battle. As the dour old sheepherder, whose heart is as black as his dog, Black Wull, cinemaudiences may find squat Actor Will Fyffe's burring phrases difficult to understand, his meaning never. Veteran Actor Fyffe's renown as a folksy character is one of the brightest in Britain. His career as an entertainer started in his teens, when in one night he played a gravedigger, the ghost and a strolling...
Publisher Paul Block is a squat, sallow, bald little Punch. Stray strands of grey criss-cross his polished dome, its grey fringe bristles when he gets excited, which is often. He pleasantly insists that friendships are his "hobby." One great & good friend whom he has long had is William Randolph Hearst. Partly with Hearst money, Mr. Block acquired nine substantial dailies...
