...read in TIME, March 18, that Admiral Halsey and the former men of the U.S.S. Enterprise are trying to raise $350,000 for the purpose of buying her as a national relic. The idea of this great American ship being scrapped after her glorious war service brings to my mind the almost identical case of the U.S.S Constitution.

A convert to Catholicism (1908), he edited the prestigious Catholic quarterly Dublin Review for nearly a decade, now, at 72, cuts a glorious Irish swath through London on his visits, tricked out in mutton-chop whiskers, cockaded tam-o'-shanter, green kilt and dagger in the stocking.
