Last week the President of France and some 2,000 other bigwigs of Paris journeyed to Havre in special trains. There they boarded the 79,000-ton S.S. Normandie, seated themselves in the huge dining salon for a monster party which lasted all night, included entertainment by 170 stage-folk. This week the Normandie makes her maiden voyage...
What the Progressives only suggest every American knows at the bottom of his heart to be the unquestionable truth, a truth he shrinks from with all the repulsion he would have if he found the Loch Ness monster in his bed. The sentimental attachment of the American people for the Constitution is hard enough to explain here, but in the eyes of foreign nations it is simply unfathomable. No matter how much it is cursed as an obstacle in the way of modern and efficient government, any movement to alter it is met with the hottest of resentment. When...

No complete skeleton of this 25,000,000-year-old monster exists anywhere, and the only skull, found in the Gobi by Dr. Walter Granger, is in Manhattan's American Museum of Natural History. Dissatisfied with tentative representations of Baluchitherium as he looked in life, Dr. Granger decided that close study of the Museum's 200 miscellaneous bones would permit a more accurate drawing. Last week the Museum announced completion...
