...woman signed their names to the foregoing contract. The woman was Dr. Myrtle Bryan McGraw, 37, child psychologist of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center's Babies' Hospital, campaigner for brighter and better-trained moppets, famed for her observations of twins Jimmy & Johnny, Margie & Florie, in each pair of which one has been carefully trained and the other raised like any other child (TIME, Sept...
...Take It With You (by Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman; Sam H. Harris, producer) demonstrates that a pair of showmen who feel as much at home in the theatre as they do in bed can confect a magnificently funny show without bothering much about the plot. The plot of You Can't Take It With You is deliberately banal.

Reported from China last week was a fifth skull of Pekin Man, with the nose and eye sockets better preserved than in any of the others...
...when Alpine skiing, imported from Norway where it had become a major sport 20 years before, was in its infancy. Norwegian skiers skied standing up straight. After he had learned to ski on barrel staves, used them to win a race for which the prize was his first pair of real skis. Hannes Schneider decided that, for long, steep, irregular Alpine slopes, standing up straight on skis was impractical. He started to ski in a crouch. In the next 30 years skiing in a crouch not only became the accepted way to ski but, by making skiing easier, made...
