...Royalist shouted the one potent word, "Assassin!" It was the signal for pandemonium. Martyrs' friends and assassin's friends joyously joined battle, screaming, slugging, slapping and pulling. Frot's friends shrieked "Liberty! Liberty!" Somebody got one good swing at Frot just before a slim, dark youth ducked under Frot's guard, seized his wiry black beard and all but yanked it out by the roots. Republican Guardsmen rushed in, hustled Frot and beard-puller away. The beard-puller turned out to be Francois, 21-year-old son of rowdy Royalist Leon Daudet...

He is the only Dictator alive today with a thorough knowledge of the contents of the Bible. Instead of being cremated, as tradition decrees for Communists, the Dictator's beloved second wife lies buried by his order in the consecrated ground of a historic Moscow convent (TIME, Nov. 21, 1932).

Tenor Melchior made his Metropolitan debut the afternoon of Feb. 17, 1926. But a few hours later he was almost forgotten when Marion Talley first...
...term (two years) went to Ralph Waldo Morrison, Texan utilitarian, whom President Roosevelt sent to the London Economic Conference in 1933. He is a close friend of Vice President Garner, a generous contributor to the National Democratic Committee's campaign funds. A Missourian by birth, he spent his youth in South America, selling railroad equipment and adding machines. Later he was promoted and operated a tramp steamship line, finally became interested in Texas power companies. The system he built up was shrewdly sold to Samuel Insull before 1929. Today he owns hotels, ice companies, Mexican power companies, does large...
