...Symbol. Roosevelt and Frankfurter first met in 1906 when they were both young lawyers in New York. The brilliant Frankfurter, who was twelve when he came to the U.S. from his native Austria, hit it off at once with the Hudson Valley aristocrat. Was young Felix merely charmed into a state of uncritical friendship by a gay, handsome fellow with a name that was practically a political key? Frankfurter himself supplied an answer in 1930 when he wrote to his friend Walter Lippmann that if he were in New York he would vote for F.D.R. for Governor, even though...

The pro-caliber Russian hockey team blanked Finland, 8-0, and East Germany, 9-0, then handed the U.S. squad its third straight defeat, by the equally lopsided score of 10-2. Nine-time World Champion Eugenio Monti, at 40, demonstrated that he has lost none of his skill and daring by piloting Italy's No. 1 sled to victory in the first two heats of the two-man bobsled...
