...Tammany tactics: Say nothing, admit nothing, lie low. During the Seabury inquiry into the city's police and judiciary a long parade of vice squad men had refused to tell the source of their astonishingly large bank rolls on the ground of possible self-incrimination (TIME, Dec. 2Q, et seq.). Tammany district leaders, along with indignant Boss John Francis Curry, had refused en masse to waive their constitutional immunity for questioning. "They love to wave the Stars & Stripes," sang the Press, "but will not waive immunity...
Count Stephen Bethlen de Bethlen has been continuously Prime Minister longer than anyone else now living: ten years. In that time he has kept Hungary from Communism, weathered the franc-forging scandal which embroiled many of the country's leading personages (TIME, Jan. 18, 1926 et seq.), kept France and her Little Entente (Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Rumania) at bay; made an alliance with Dictator Mussolini, signed treaties of friendship or arbitration with Austria, Turkey, Switzerland, the United States.

Observers wondered about Oilman Doherty's motive. Had he rushed into the Journal-Post in the heat of wrath, unmindful of the stigma attaching to a "kept" newspaper and all that appears in it? Or had he coolly reckoned that by walking in the front door in broad daylight...
After boiling the then king's favorite general in oil, Nadir Khan, "the Afghan George Washington," ascended the throne in picturesque Kabul and has since successfully remained there (TIME, Oct. 28, 1929 et seq.). He has waxed friendly with his neighbor to the southward beyond the Khyber Pass-Lis Britannic Majesty's colonial government in India. Thus the British have been far happier than when plump Amanullah reigned, taking millions in gifts from them but making the Russians his closest economic allies. Far, far happier are they than during the subsequent brief reign of Bandit-King Bacha Sakao...
