...news, Sarazen took a nervous five at the loth. At the nth he mistimed his drive and the ball landed in the one clump of grass in an ugly wilderness of hazards called the Himalayas. He recovered for a par and the Prince of Wales watched him sink a 20-ft. putt for a birdie on the 14th. At the 18th he needed a 4 for a 74. He smashed a perfect drive and asked his caddy, Ernest Daniels, "What club?" Caddy Daniels gave him the No. 3 iron. This last crucial shot was straight and safe. Two careful putts...

While Massachusetts was voting last week, so was Pennsylvania-but with this difference: no Democratic nominee for President has carried Pennsylvania since the Civil War. Out of some 200,000 Democratic votes cast in a preference primary that bound no one, Governor Roosevelt...
...passed the civil service examination, was ordered to report at Clinton Prison at Dannemora, then known as the Siberia of America. After a tedious, solitary trip he found himself one day standing on the deserted railroad platform, surrounded by dense forests, high mountains. The desolate atmosphere made his heart sink. When was the next train out? Luckily for U. S. penology, not until the next morning. Up to the grey silent buildings with the heavy bars walked Lawes alone. The gates clanged behind...
