This "possibility" is at present mildly fantastic, but obviously Wendell Willkie is still going places. Into Willkie's office come 500 letters weekly, all urging him to keep up the fight, many predicting that it will wind up with him in the White House. On these Wendell Willkie casts an interested' but realistic eye. Stamped with anti-New Deal mark, he is still too much of a liberal to suit old-line Republicans. When friends ask him whether he intends to be a candidate he answers, "Wouldn't I be a sucker...

In 1936, still immune, he nearly caused a diplomatic breach between England and France by contemning France's role in the London Locarno Conference. Excerpt: "The position of France is as usual that of a bad-tempered vixen of a woman who up to a point has discovered that merely by making herself...
Green hats "pour le sport and bravely worn" have long since lost their style. But Michael Arlen, who alters the cut of his books at fashion's wink, still has millinery for a stock in trade. "The hats many women wear, even poor women who ought to know better," remarks Johnnie Cloud, narrator of The Flying Dutchman, "are uniformly ugly and idiotic, which is maybe quite natural since, so it's said, fashions for women are made by homosexuals and Lesbians and they don't like women to look attractive...
