...found power to plague his cast-off family and especially Jose. Jose found himself evicted from his farm; he moved elsewhere; the same thing threatened again. But then Senor Wilson stepped in and effectually removed the threat. In the banditry and guerrilla fighting that the late lean years brought Cuba, fat politico Marco went the way of all politicos, while Jose stayed on on his finca (property), minding his business, begetting children, improving his acres...
...Holy Year ended in Rome last week with a great banging of bronze bells and the smoke of thousands of censers. In Rome to hear the bells and smell the smoke were the Vice Chancellor of Germany and Premier of Prussia but their minds were on other things. Lean-jawed Col. von Papen and blustering, full-blooded Capt. Goring darted from one ancient palace to the next, from the Vatican to the Air Ministry, to Il Duce's office. Shortly stumpy little Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss of Austria came roaring over the Alps in an airplane and started a similar...
Most Secretaries of State would have been awed by the size and complexity of the world problems before the Roosevelt Administration-but not Democrat Cordell Hull.

The Maple Leafs' chief handicaps were injuries to three of their ablest men-Right-wing Bailey (dislocated shoulder), Defenseman Horner (broken hand), Center Primeau...
Most interested spectator at President Roosevelt's conference with the Senators was a lean-faced, youngish man of 44 with a mop of dark brown hair just turning grey and deep thoughtful eyes-an economic idealist. Taciturn, he sat and listened most of the time. He was Henry Agard Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture and the official upon whose none-too-husky shoulders falls the job of administering the enormous powers buried deep in the Roosevelt farm bill. In his diffident way he had already given the Senate committee his views on this measure, designed to restore farm purchasing power...
