...eyed President Albert Lebrun did not hurry through his luncheon. After the cheese, the fruit, the steaming café noir and the exquisite fine, there would be plenty of time to send one of M. le President's long-snouted Renault cars around to fetch a successor to fallen Premier Edouard Daladier (TIME, Oct. 30). When the limousine went out at last it sped to the Navy Ministry. There a great gourmet, one of the most discriminating connoisseurs of food and wine in France, had for once missed the rite of luncheon, waiting anxiously at his desk...
...ruling interests, in whatever country, cannot permit the reaction to go so far as this, and their only alternative will be a series of imperialist wars with the object of national enslavement. At present Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Hitler, Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Mussolini, and, I dare say, M. Daladier's successor are each aiming for the vast golden apple of imperialism, expansion of exports and restriction of imports. Each of them has stated this explicitly.

...repetitive lyrics no longer seems a sprightly burlesque of all lyric-writing. His lyrics often appear to be simply slovenly, lazy work.

("Eddie") Ahearn, 39, leader of a lower East Side district, inherited in 1921 from his father, whom Charles Evans Hughes as Governor removed from the Borough Presidency of Manhattan in 1907. Eddie Ahearn has two ambitions: to be Manhattan's Borough President, thus vindicating...
...Chicago last September, advising them to sell preferred stock to the R. F. C. and earn a ''double blue eagle." Ever since then the R. F. C. has been trying in vain to persuade some big bank to issue preferred stock. Last week James Reader Leavell, successor to the Brothers George and Arthur Reynolds as head of Chicago's Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust Co., decided to accept Mr. Jones's offer to have his bank sell $50,000,000 worth of preferred stock. "Other big banks of New York and Chicago are expected soon...
