...General Foch was bitterly criticized for misjudging enemy strength and strategy. The British high command shifted from Sir John French to Sir Douglas Haig. The Germans fired Moltke, then tried Falkenhayn and finally brought from the East old Paul von Hindenburg, who lost his war. But a few younger men in secondary posts came through the ordeal with reputations not only untarnished but so brightened that now, a quarter of a century after Armageddon 1914-18, it is they to whom their countrymen have given their arms to command in the war-darkened world...

After four score restless years most men are ready to lay down their arms and leave the fighting to younger men with stronger bodies.

Like 100 of his Parliamentary colleagues, Lord Balniel went to Eton. Like 180 of the 415 Tory M.P.s, he is a director of a corporation.

Featured instead is the fact that Il Duce pilots his own plane, rides horseback, swims, skis, can lead...
Next week the two-year-olds will be partly eclipsed by their younger brothers & sisters, when the big yearling sales that take place during the middle fortnight of the Saratoga season begin. Probably no event in the country, except opening night at the Metropolitan Opera or the National Horse Show, attracts a more plush crowd than that which assembles nightly in the wooden pavilion known as the Saratoga Sales Paddock. There the patrons of horse racing, hoping to spot another Man o' War, watch the young thoroughbreds parade around the arena, bid for those they fancy...
