...dusty golden city of Salamanca, capital of Francisco Franco, last week was held a prize example of Court Martial Type No. 2. Star defendant was tall, ash-blond Harold E. Dahl, 28, of Champaign, Ill., a mercenary who enlisted with the Leftists for a promised $1,500 a week, was shot down into a nest of Moorish troops while on a bombing raid three months ago. Because Flyer Dahl was the first U. S. aviator known to have been caught alive, because his blonde wife, Edith, crooner on the French Riviera, had sent a photograph of herself to El Caudillo...
Seymour. In Battell Chapel in New Haven, Conn., 1,000 guests intoned the 65th Psalm, sung in the first Yale College building in 1718. To tall Yaleman Charles Seymour, 52, Yale's Wilbur Lucius Cross, Governor of Connecticut, presented the symbols of office-the mace, the keys, the record book, the charter and the great seal of the university-in sonorous Latin pronounced him the 15th president of Yale. In Latin, President Seymour replied. This 200-year-old ritual completed, Historian Seymour mounted the pulpit, warned that "Yale must be vigilantly self-critical . . . must beware of the peril...
...Henry Wise Hobson, 46, tall, affable Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Southern Ohio, bustled about Nippert Stadium of the University of Cincinnati one day last week, greeted 140 fellow-bishops, as they arrived by the dozen, with "You're on the home team, Bishop." and "You're on the visiting team today." For the procession of 1,000 bishops, clergy and laymen which was to open the 52nd triennial General Convention of the Church, bishops were to robe themselves in home and visiting team dressing rooms according to whether they had held office for ten years, or longer...
Looking much like an extremely competent and self-effacing butler, a tall, baldish German walked upon the stage of Manhattan's Town Hall one day last week to give the first important recital of the U. S. concert season. Pianist Walter Gieseking, absent from the U. S. for two years, had already established himself as a prime interpreter of the subtle iridescences of Claude Debussy. Long before he reached Debussy (which he admits he plays "the right way . . . without any noticeable motion of the fingers"), Gieseking made his audience aware that in two years and more than 200 European...
...reform movements around the century's turn; who wrote widely and voluminously on subjects ranging from children's plays to the philosophy of Plato, from the Antigone of Sophocles to Al Smith; and who died, having known practically everybody and dabbled in everything, as recently as 1933. Tall, active, heavily-built, deeply bearded, John Jay Chapman had such a drastic sense of personal justice that he voluntarily burned his left hand (so badly that it had to be amputated) to expiate a blow he had struck a friend. His consciousness of civic responsibility was so strong that...
