...fibre by Opposition Leader Clement Attlee with savage, terrier-like insistence. After first saying that Benito Mussolini reminded him of "Scarface" Al Capone, Major Attlee shouted at the Chancellor of the Exchequer: "If Neville Chamberlain, instead of being mayor of Birmingham, had been mayor of Chicago, he would have altered the functions of the police to accommodate Al Capone!" According to Major Attlee, the new project of Chancellor Chamberlain to alter the functions of the League of Nations to accommodate Benito Mussolini (TIME, June 22) is even more dastardly...
...Have we been blinded by demagogs? Have we been lulled to a state of catalepsy by political pap, or have we been too lazy to assert and demand our sovereign rights? . . .

Quiet and capable, Governor Lehman is tremendously popular with his 2,000,000 fellow-Jews in the State-a fact which partly explained President Roosevelt's desire...
...bestowing such dubious titles upon a handful of the graduating class has become a tradition like the beer-suits and freshman skull caps; it is a ritual which time has enhanced and which offers splendid opportunities for a mass attack upon some hapless individual who can neither foresee nor alter his lot once he has been chosen "best dressed" or named, "thinks he is wittiest". These brands of favour are eagerly reprinted in the metropolitan papers; only to be hauled forth and brought to light years later when the recipient is a candidate for the Presidency or the Chairmanship...
