...surprising how fresh the Herald Tribune sage's articles remain when they are issued, frozen inside book-covers. You turn the pages from the panic mood of January, 1933, when Mr. Lipmann joined his well-modulated call to the rest of those who demanded swift executive action; through the decisive March days, through the tumult round banks and public works and beer, through the birth of the blue eagle. Here is Mr. Lippman praising the emergency legislation in March, 1933, growing warier in the late spring, doubting carnestly by July, when he sees "moral coercion by means of the blue...
Featuring prominently a portrait of her own little self, the much advertised "Ann Marsters' Primer for Harvard Students" began its run yesterday in the Sunday Advertiser.

...This sage comment on "What It Takes To Win" was contributed to the program of the 40th U. S. Open tournament by famed Robert Tyre Jones Jr., present at New Jersey's Baltusrol Golf Club last week as a spectator. If, sitting in the locker room after he had finished playing, he had chanced to read it, Golfer Harry Cooper of Chicago might have felt reassured. Cooper had just posted not 287 but 284. This was the best score ever made in the Open, two strokes better than the record made by Chick Evans at Minikahda in 1916. only...
