...fault. It staffs bureaus all over the world, keeps 14 men in Washington. Upon being asked if the Sun was a crusading paper, Managing Editor Charles H. Dorsey answered with feeling: "Good God, I hope we never become one." His style is the style of Arunah Shepherdson Abell, the vagabond printer who started the Sun in 1837 and whose descendants are still on the board. The paper remains aloof, aristocratic, oldfashioned, proud and something of a snob-just the way Baltimoreans like...
Died. Jacques Villon (real name: Gaston Duchamp), 87, French painter and engraver, a Norman notary's son who as a youth took the last name of Vagabond Poet Francois Villon, with his younger brother Marcel Duchamp joined the Cubists in 1911, but won only minor notice until after World War II, when he turned to gayer colors and greater realism, becoming a favorite of U.S. museums; of uremic poisoning; in the Paris suburb, Puteaux...
When eventually Rama takes off for Europe to become a "holy vagabond," he has difficulty explaining himself to Europeans, let alone the Europeans to himself. But Rama does his best to embrace and smother with love the barbarous tribes of Paris, and records an impulse to lead a cow up to the altar at Notre Dame.

In 1935, on his first play in Green Bay, Hutson gathered in a Herber pass and raced 83 yds. against the hated Chicago Bears for the only touchdown...
Roman Empire. He was raised a Roman Catholic, lost his faith while in his teens, and regained it at the age of 30, after he received a doctorate in philosophy from Pisa University. Lanza wandered through Europe and the Near East for six years as a self-styled vagabond, finally arriving in India in 1936. Gandhi accepted him as a disciple and nicknamed him Shantidas (servant of peace). Lanza spent 18 months studying with Gandhi, returned to France to marry and write poetry. "When one doesn't have an automobile, one gets interested in poetry," he says. Gandhi believed...
