Campus Killer. A bad place for girls to be at night was the lovely, leafy campus of Los Angeles City College and the neighborhood around it. Anya Sosoyeva, 32, a blonde dancer and drama student, was bludgeoned to death in one of its lanes last February. Bludgeoned, robbed (of 35?) but not killed was Delia Bogard, 18, who sometimes danced in L. A. C. C. plays. Bludgeoned, raped and left to live was Nursemaid Myrtle Wagner, 17. Hammered to death while abed at home was Mrs. Margaret Campbell, 56, a onetime actress who taught drama...
...Laconic Edouard Daladier talked like a soldier of war and of the way to fight it. High-minded Chamberlain and grave Halifax, two Shakespearean characters in a tragic drama, spoke of right, of justice, of the moral problems of the conflict (see p. 27). Benito Mussolini, as befitted a student of Machiavelli, said little and made that little mean much or nothing (see p. 21). Harsh Molotov in Moscow jeered at hopeful democrats and alone of the world's spokesmen said nothing of war's misery-of which Adolf Hitler no less than Lenin showed himself fully conscious...
...guidance in the crisis Franklin Roosevelt relied last week on as extraordinary a brace of diplomats as any U. S. President has ever had on a serious diplomatic battlefield. His favorite sentinel abroad is Ambassador to France Bill Bullitt: bald, slim, elegant, as close a student of all Europe as was that other rich Philadelphian, Dr. Benjamin Franklin. By placement more important now is autonomous Joe Kennedy in London: hearty, gum-chewing, tough-minded as Bismarck. Both have achieved in almost unprecedented measure the confidence of the Governments and the peoples to whom they are accredited. Neither France nor Great...
Father Maguire was just the man for such a dispute. A native of Ireland, a onetime student at Oxford, he went to the U. S. as a newspaperman to report a big Labor trial, became a Roman Catholic soon afterward. Seldom does he figure in the news, but midwestern Labor and employers account him their best and most active mediator. He helped settle the long, bloody Kohler of Kohler (plumbing) strike in Wisconsin five years ago, has calmed many another row before it reached the headlines. Now sixtyish, he is a husky six-footer with a lined, full face...
When Bishop James Bernard Sheil of Chicago was a student at St. Viator College, his teacher of sociology and economics was Father John W. R. Maguire. Bishop Sheil is now a potent friend of Chicago Labor, a very present help to C. I. O. in its offensive against meat-packing Armour & Co. (TIME, July 24). Also serving the Lord and Labor in his diocese is his onetime mentor, Father Maguire...
