...Bible reading record (69 hr., 17 min.) of Rev. Finis J. Dake & team of Zion City, Ill. (TIME, Feb. 26). It took Preacher Pitcher's team 50 hr. and 56 min. to go from Genesis to Revelation. Then all arose and sang: "Praise God from Whom all blessings flow...
...class of foreign scholars who have been cast out from their own country by the rise of dictatorship and have found a refuge in American universities and colleges.

All this is published by a dying newspaper, recently purchased at auction by an Old Dealer-a cold-blooded reactionary-who was one of the principal guides along the road...
...Riskin who adapted Samuel Hopkins Adams' story, fused the two. When Gable and Colbert hail a Ford for a lift the driver sings them a tuneless paean on the pleasures of hitchhiking. When they stop for gas, he tries to drive off with their battered suitcase. The quick flow of comic incident through It Happened One Night reaches its fantastic conclusion in a wedding at which the groom arrives in an autogyro while the bride runs away...
