...correspondents know that more than one blase second-string Continental newswoman gets her best interviews by giving herself and thinks little of the exchange, but they listened to the shooting diarist's quickly hired Paris lawyer. His story was that Ambassador de- Chambrun had broken off a French woman's great romance with the Italian Dictator, and so naturally she shot him. "Naturellement, Messieurs! Mark you, gentlemen, the great love of her life, a love which she could not master!"

Despite this highly improbable theme, things move along rapidly and in a highly entertaining fashion...
Paired with Whalen in the sports department is Rochelle Hudson, the daughter of a former fistic champion, who boasts a mean right book--undoubtedly hereditary. This she uses to advantage against her boss, against "the other woman", and in sobering drunks.
