...this fight last week Vandenberg came in top form. The much-used bookcases in the unpretentious two-story brick-stucco house in Grand Rapids had been explored night after night; the rolltop desk in his little den had rattled steadily under the impact of his heavy-handed typing. That house holds all of Arthur Vandenberg's private life. There he moved the year (1906) he jumped from city-hall reporter to managing editor of the Grand Rapids Herald-the paper to which he came as a cub the same night in 1902 that Frank Knox also applied for work...

But Don Manuel, who has been wanting to surrender since the Rebels took Teruel a year ago, flatly refused to leave the safety of Paris. Peace at any price was his line. General Vicente Rojo, Loyalist Chief of Staff who crossed...

On each side of the columns Architect Pflueger designed other open courts, surrounded by a light and trimly built structure of four-by-eight-foot plywood panels, a strong, beautiful surface, more native than stucco to forested California. About 20 nations of the Pacific, from Peru to Japan, are building more or less authentic pavilions along the Pacific lagoon. None is a saner expression of national character than Pflueger...
