Thus last week Editors George Jean Nathan, Ernest Boyd, Sherwood Anderson, James Branch Cabell & Eugene O'Neill availed themselves of the "out" they had wisely prepared in the first issue of The American Spectator, literary and critical review (TIME, Oct. 31, 1932). The magazine, resembling a monthly newspaper, had made a modest success. Circulation (claimed) reached 30,000-about 10,000 more than was needed to break even. Advertising income was fairly good. All told, the project cleared about $70 a year for each of the editors, which was more than they had expected but not enough to anchor...
ALTHOUGH STORY IN YOUR ISSUE OF FEB. 18 CORRECTLY SHOWS THAT PUBLICITY WAS MOTIVE BEHIND OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY'S BARRING OF NATHAN YAGOL FROM CAMPUS, YOU MAKE INACCURATE STATEMENT WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED.

Good shot: a zoo attendant (Stepin Fetchit) advertising to the furniture dealer the excellence of the meat he feeds the lions...
...afternoon when a street car rattled out Atlanta's Peachtree Street, stopped at the rolling campus which William Randolph Hearst gave to Oglethorpe (TIME, Aug. 6). The slender young man who stepped off was Nathan Yagol, instructor in Chemistry at neighboring Emory University. Instructor Yagol started across the campus toward the auditorium. Invited to address the International Relations Club, he had small idea how the rest of Oglethorpe felt when he trod the campus. Two things are hated by all good Oglethorpe men and Instructor Yagol represented both of them. One is Emory University, which Oglethorpe's ebullient...
...footballers formed a block about the trembling instructor, rushed him to the edge of the campus. A trolley car was hailed and Nathan Yagol scrambled gladly aboard. Then the Oglethorpe University football squad trotted off to Hermance Stadium to resume spring practice...
