...Sword devoureth one as well as another." Hardened and harsh was King David when he spoke these words to the messenger who told him that Uriah, husband of Bathsheba, had been slain as planned. But from the new Bible is missing the whole chapter that describes the unhappy King's brief interlude of passion with Bathsheba that lush spring when he tarried in Jerusalem although it was "the time when Kings go forth to battle." Without this tale is lost one of the most important psychological links in the evolution of David from the young idealist who befriended Jonathan...

In philanthropy he does not bunch his hits as do the Rockefellers, but scatters gifts of $100,000 or more to dozens of causes and institutions. Sometimes he gives to institutions he has never seen. Though the complete listing of the Harkness benefactions would stretch over columns, these are representative, most of them recent...
...finals as they do in all U. S. Professional tournaments, whether played on boards, clay, or grass. The other pros who played them in their respective divisions of the draw failed to take many games. Howard Kinsey, who ranked in the first ten as an amateur, did well when he won 13 from Kozeluh in three sets. Paul Hesten, in the other semifinal, lost to Richards more quickly...
