...York Woman in which a spade was called a shovel thus: "While the outcome, no doubt, will be a victory for the Throne, the King, quite evidently, is the most helpless of creatures, a man over 40 who has fallen desperately in love." The New York World-Telegram, leading organ of the nation-wide Scripps-Howard chain, followed this with front-page pictures six inches high of Queen Mary and Mrs. Simpson side by side-the Scripps-Howard story being that Her Majesty "disapproves of the King's open friendship for American-born" Mrs. Simpson and has taken...
Since Alf Landon himself plumped for minimum-wages-for-women in his convention telegram, it seemed improbable that Joe Tipaldo would be employed in the Republican campaign. Already enlisted as a GOP speaker, however, was a more famed New Deal martyr, Fred C. Perkins of York, Pa. Because he could not pay workers in his battery plant NRA code wages, the big, hairy-fisted onetime Cornell footballer went to jail for 18 days, was fined $1,500, became the nation's prime symbol of the "little man" oppressed by NRA (TIME, Dec. 17, 1934 et seq.).

Last week a rare journalistic accolade was bestowed on Columnist Hugh Johnson when his running mate, freckle-faced Westbrook Fegler. who has been at columning some eleven years, leaned out of his crow's nest across the World-Telegram...
Stirred by that bombardment, vexed that a chemist dared to make a medical statement were Dr. Morris Fishbein, A. M. A. publicist, and Chemist Paul Nicholas Leech, director of the A. M. A.'s chemical laboratories. Chemist Leech whipped off a telegram to President Edward Bartow of the American Chemical Society, and rushed to Pittsburgh to protest in person. The Leech telegram: "Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, and I join in protest to the American Chemical Society against the use of its agency in aiding the premature and unethical exploitation of this...
