...even the severest critic of pomp & circumstance could accuse the Troop of being mere dress-up soldiers. On the staff of its guidon are silver bands for service in major battles from Trenton and Princeton in the Revolution to the Meuse-Argonne in World War I. Regular National Guard enlistment is for three years; City Troopers enlist for seven. Rookies find advancement slow, the selection of officers meticulous. No man can hope to become a corporal before eight years, a sergeant before ten. John C. Groome Jr., a coal company president who was the Troop's captain until...
Heatter's advent on the big time dates from April 3, 1936. That night he was stationed at Trenton to cover the execution of Bruno Hauptmann.

Manhattan has many a hotspot, many a white-tie joint, but few nightclubs in which a connoisseur of jazz would care to be found. Two years ago a mild-mannered little Trenton, N. J. shoe-store owner named Barney Josephson (no kin to Author Matthew Josephson) opened a subterranean nightclub in downtown Manhattan. He wanted the kind of place where people like himself would not be sneered at by waiters, cigaret and hat-check girls, or bored by a commercial girl show. He called it Café Society, and turned loose some excellent comic artists (among them Peggy Bacon, William...
Last week 30-odd U. S. publishers, editors, reporters completed a tour of Canada's defenses: infantry training camps, the snappy artillery centre at Petawawa, even snappier Air Force stations at Camp Borden, Trenton, Uplands (Ottawa). They even got a long look at the crowded, guarded port of Halifax and some of the lately traded U. S. destroyers there.
