Parity is a simple idea, and an even simpler steal. It means that farm prices relative to industrial prices will never fall below the ratio of the pre-World War I decade. This is about as fair as guaranteeing brokers the same profits they made in 1928. No one denies that farm incomes are low, or that farmers need relief. But no member of either house of Congress has yet acknowledged that the real heart of the farm problem is too many farmers, and that prices are a symptom, not a cause. Any permanent cure for the difficulty must...
...Kids. Though one of these youngsters will probably play the lead at Forest Hills, a couple of even younger tennists may well steal the spotlight this summer. They are: 18-year-old Edward ("Budge") Patty,* and 16-year-old Bob Falkenburg. In this pair, the Southern California Tennis Association thinks it has another Budge & Mako...
After the 1940 election, Missouri Democrats tried to pull a fast one. They tried to steal the Governorship from duly elected Republican Forrest C. Donnell, hand it to barrel-chested Democrat Larry McDaniel (TIME, April 14, 1941).

It is punishable and some times it is an art. But you are not even...
...necessary suavity and elegance along with enough warmth and kindness as Jason to overcome the essential priggishness of the character. William Mendrek, though, as the passionate humanitarian, Mike Ambler, carries the first two acts. His crisp and colorful performance of the half-genius, half-charlatan, stands fair to steal the show until Mr. Nagel gets his chance in the third act, where he manages the review-dictating scene with intelligence and fine technique. But Louise Kanasireff, as Lisa, fails to rise to the level of the men; the wife is a badly realibed character and Miss Kanasireff contributes little...
