...State reception for the French Ambassador was suddenly canceled. Police patrols that already had their orders moved out to strategic street corners. Every theatre, cafe and dance hall in Warsaw was closed, indefinitely. Cabinet Ministers hustled to a meeting.

Scratch, scratch the puppet President signed a new Constitution (TIME, Dec. 25, 1933) which sweeps into the dustbin every vestige...
...last July after a long session at Pennsylvania R. R.'s general offices in Philadelphia, President William Wallace Atterbury hopped into an automobile to keep an appointment at a suburban hospital. There he underwent a cholelithotomy (removal of gallstones), and for the next few months Mr. Atterbury disappeared from the news, except for persistent reports that he was dying. Certainly he was not at his office. Late last autumn he put his yacht Arminia into Miami, summoned newshawks aboard. "I'm the livest, kickingest person you ever saw," he fumed. "I haven't felt so well since...
