...Deal Washington few partnerships have been so enduring as that between Henry Agard Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, and Edward Asbury O'Neal III, president of the Farm Bureau Federation. Homespun Henry Wallace and the tall, grey, calloused Alabama cotton grower were bound together not only by common interest, but power. As head of a farm organization whose 408,000 members in 40 States are a more united force than the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, 62-year-old Ed O'Neal has been since 1931 the most influential farm leader in the land. When Henry Wallace projected...
...newly adopted Irish Free State Constitution (TIME, July 12 et ante) goes into effect, His Majesty King George VI will have been completely erased from any constitutional status or even mention in the land of Eamon de Valera. This may be only a paper defeat for London, but tall, teacherish President de Valera used his parliament at Dublin last week to rub in his paper victory in a manner as annoying as possible to the English. To launch his Free State on a new foreign policy sharply different from that pursued by British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, he asked...
Over 1,000,000 citizens of Moscow left their homes one sub-zero day last week, turned out in a driving snowstorm to march across the Red Square shouting "Hurrah for Stalin!" They carried heavy wood & canvas floats and tall banners which they struggled to keep Moscow's wintry blasts from whipping from their hands. It was a magnificent show of Russian stamina, celebrating the election with which Russia has "come of age" (TIME, Dec. 20). Stalin, who is a native of the semitropical Tiflis region, did not himself turn out in the blizzard but sent 62-year...
...years ago, under the auspices of the Belgian Government, a tall, rawboned cinema director, Armand Denis (Goona-Goona), and his wife, Leila Roosevelt, undertook a $150,000 expedition to the Belgian Congo. Purposes: to make a motion picture survey of certain parts of the country for Belgian Congo's National Park Institute; to take sound film material suitable for use in an African movie. Explorer Denis, his wife, cameramen, and Pooka, a cat (which survived sand storms and a fight with a leopard, only to be run over later on a quiet New England country road) pushed their...
Because of her tremendous, sharp-beaked nose, like the prow of a war galley (see cut, p. 79), the Romans were easily led to believe that Cleopatra had to hold her men with knockout love drops. The kind of men she seduced made her sex appeal even more mysterious. Tall, black-eyed, bald Caesar "had known the whole gamut of indulgence," three or four faithless marriages. Yet Caesar, already married, defied hostile public opinion to keep Cleopatra openly in Rome with their illegitimate son during his last three years, introduced a law permitting him to marry several wives...
