...King Christian's younger brother's capital, 300 miles northward, the Nazis' arrival in Oslo streets was also taken calmly by the populace. But this populace was puzzled, incredulous, as 1,500 shock-troopers, hard-looking but amiable enough, only a few of them gripping their automatic weapons, took possession of a city of 250,000 with scarcely a finger raised against them, even with a city police escort. Correspondent Leland Stowe of the Chicago Daily News was the first outsider on the spot to figure out one of the darkest inside jobs ever perpetrated...
Saturday afternoon's encounter with Pennsylvania will supply Coach Barnaby with considerably more worries. Last year's top singles match, which saw Burt eke out an extra set triumph over Isadore Bellis at the Divinity Courts, kept the stands on edge.

Bigger moment in Joan's life was her marriage last year to Brian Aherne. The Ahernes are one of Hollywood's happiest married couples.

Neither mute nor inglorious was the Younger Milton. A mountainous figure of a man, with a boy's face and a scholar's brain, he was more interested in politics than in daily journalism. He wrote books (The Age of Hate, The Eve of Conflict), contributed to leftist magazines like The Nation and The New Republic, lectured, presided over round-table discussions, was chairman of a Southern committee to study lynching. Long an admirer of Nebraska's Senator George Norris, Milton plugged for the Tennessee Valley Authority when it was no more than a Utopian gleam...
