...enclose check for renewal. TIME has become a necessity. A perfect antidote to wordy news and vain repetitions. Style reminds me of Sydney Bulletin, Australia's national weekly. This paper was started without a staff, run mainly on contributions from all over the country, from mines, cattle stations and the bush. These were edited by the office...
Then, last week, in Editor & Publisher, "trade" magazine for newspapermen, one Philip Schuyler related that the Lindbergh-signed stories were not written by Lindbergh. He named their true author-one Carlyle MacDonald, a member of the New York Times European staff. Thus, if Mr. Schuyler wrote correctly, when Mr. James of the New York Times referred to Colonel Lindbergh's dictating his story to the stenographer, it was the story of Mr. MacDonald of the New York Times that the stenographer was really transcribing. Even the compliment to the beauty of Erin may have been a MacDonald heartthrob rather...
...mighty host comprising the citizenry of the British Commonwealth of Nations. As a temporary resident (and therefore guest), of these great United States of America. As one who served with the Canadian forces in France and Belgium from February, 1915, to October, 1918, in various ranks, from Private to Staff-Captain, Corps Headquarters.

Recently this great soldier and tactician picked up and read two fat volumes† about the War from the sale of which Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill is drawing considerable pelf. As he read. Sir Frederick apparently began to experience a sense of scorn. Here were errors of fact, sloppiness, perversions of truth and everywhere the pink and soapy touch of superficiality...
Habitual travelers on the Broadway Limited, "crack" Pennsylvania R. R. train between Chicago and Manhattan, nodded cheerily to Steward Lewis Davis when they entered the dining-car last week. Later they felt even cheerier when Steward Lewis Davis, dean of the Broadway Limited's dining-car staff, brought them a little surprise-a slice from the train's 25th anniversary cake. For last week, which marked the 25th year of operation of the New York Central's Twentieth Century, marked also the quarter century for the Broadway Limited. New York Central officials made an event of their...
