Smearing by Rights of Lefts and vice versa has for years been such a feature of French public life that Paris correspondents and their editors abroad leaned over backward on the story last week. Veteran Paris correspondents, usually proud to cable a deft summary supplemented with wise comment, suddenly crossed their fingers and transmitted verbatim the statement presently issued by the Minister of the Interior. The editors of the New York Times were among those who affirmed that "perplexing questions are not answered by the data available." Data supplied by Marx Dormoy...
Capitalizing on news-accounts of John Nance Garner's criticism of his wife's new hat ("It makes you look like a flapper"-TIME, Nov. 29), Manhattan's publicity-wise Arnold Constable & Co. dispatched a representative to Mrs. Garner with a dozen matronly hats, offered them to her as a gift.

Dr. Lin submits a formula based on a blend of realism ("R"), dreams ("D"), humor ("H"), sensibility ("S"), qualified by 4 (abnormally high), 3 (high), 2 (fair) and 1 (low). The ideal formula, says Dr. Lin, is R3D2H352 (a middle-of-the-road balance). Nearest to this ideal are the English, one point low on humor and sensibility. The Germans, Japanese and Russians make...
