...succeed his great & good friend Joseph Kennedy, who was last week sworn in as Ambassador to the Court of St. James, the President named a new head of the Maritime Commission: Rear Admiral Emory S. ("Jerry") Land-once a famed footballer at Annapolis, now 59-who has served on the Commission for one year, is an expert on naval construction and an air-minded (but distant) cousin of Charles Augustus Lindbergh...
...China, meanwhile, the 400,000 Chinese troops were holding off the Japanese advance in the Suchow sector with some success. Large Japanese forces were then found to be sweeping around their flank some distance inland, and neutral experts debated whether the 400,000 would be trapped, routed, or might succeed in withdrawing in good order. Although the Japanese flanking movement came mostly down along the Peiping-Hankow Railway, Chinese guerilla troops recaptured last week a 75-mile section of that railway in territory nominally "conquered" by Japan. Gloomy Chinese blew up the longest steel bridge in China to keep Japanese...
...that University Hall has convinced the departments of the necessity of what Dean Leighton calls "Freshman tutorial," it is pertinent to examine if and how it can succeed.

So far as "impossible" wives are concerned, Göring tied the Potsdam Code into pretzel shape and swallowed...
...Manhattan last Sunday, the venerable Episcopal Church of St. Mark's-in-the-Bouwerie installed its eighth rector, Rev. Charles Albert William Brocklebank, 33, lately of Christ Church in Easton, Md., called to succeed Rev. Dr. William Norman Guthrie (TIME, Dec. 13). For Episcopalians who wondered if Mr. Brocklebank would dabble in heterodox ritual, as did voluble, mystical Dr. Guthrie, the new rector's pre-installation statements were tactfully soothing. Said he: "The contributions of Dr. Guthrie were so unique and so utterly dependent upon his own magnificent personality and breadth of knowledge that it would be folly...
