...that the trucking strike in London has presumably been settled--on the strikers' terms--the vivid drama of another government's wrestle with the labor problem will no longer be flashing danger signals in front of American congressmen. The course of the strike would bear trenchant reading for those who believe government intervention is the key to labor peace...
...still the most vivid recollection of my eight-year-old son, whom he entertained daily with his wonderful fairy stories of "Winkie Doodle"-interspersed with bits of his own true life story in China. On my son's sixth birthday, Uncle Don invited him to his "shanty," in Santo Tomàs, for a birthday dinner (no mean invitation when every mouthful was weighed carefully), and promised that some day when we got out he'd give him a bicycle; Last year, at Christmas, a money order arrived for that purpose.

Behind them came the royal coach, drawn by four grey horses, with the driver and two footmen splashes of vivid scarlet above the deep maroon of the coachwork. Through the windows the crowds could see the King in an admiral's uniform, sitting erect and wooden-faced under his gold-peaked cap, while the Queen, with her plump, pink-and-white face, powder blue hat, grey-fawn furs, was all smiles and gracious waves. The Welsh Guards Band played God Save the King as the coach went...
