Lampy for once stopped into some unpremeditated national publicity yesterday when Ann Sheridan, "Oomph Girl" whom the Poon recently dubbed "least likely to succeed" in the movies blasted Harvard men in general and Lampoon editors in particular...
Dear Friend No. 2. It is a Soviet tradition that the No. 2 Bolshevik shall run the No. 2 Russian city.

Last week the Democratic State Committee met in Harrisburg to pick a candidate to succeed Joe. From Washington came hurried word that another wide-open Democratic split would be disastrous. So, after whooping through a Roosevelt-for-Third-Term resolution, the committee picked nobody, declared for an open primary for the first time in ten years. Under the circumstances, it was the best break Joe Guffey could...
