Your excellent cinema columnist trod on a sensitive spot and misled the public in the article on Fred Astaire (TIME, Sept. 9). Mr. Astaire was established on the screen in Flying Down to Rio, for which picture I brought him to Hollywood and teamed him with Ginger Rogers...
...Duce went to the length of publicly demonstrating a compound produced by Italian chemists to be strewn by Italian airplanes on the soil of Ethiopia to sear and burn the proverbially bare feet of Emperor Power of Trinity's savage troops.

Before the final solution of this problem Harvard must mark time. The only possible outcome without a reduction in the number of admissions to the Freshman Class is an enlargement of the House Plan, a goal which...
