Sent by President Wilson and Wartime British Prime Minister David Lloyd George to observe the new Soviet Russia, young Bullitt returned to have his report (recommending recognition of the Soviets) ignored and himself denounced by Mr. Lloyd George in the House of Commons. For the next 14 years Bill Bullitt occupied his time writing a violent expatriate novel, getting psychoanalyzed in Vienna, divorced twice.

...Applied Design for Women, belongs to the modern school in art and the old school in boxing. A praiser of the days when fighters like Benny Leonard relied on brains rather than bang, Tony Sisti planned to eke out six cagey rounds last week. Instead, he found his young and hopeful opponent open to certain applications of practical anatomy, dropped him once and knocked him out for good in 70 seconds of the first round...
