...tracks, had killed two, injured 13. Five days later the Southern Pacific-Rock Island Golden State Limited had met with an almost identical disaster on the Southern Pacific's tracks near Tucumcari, N. M., had killed eight, injured 40 (TIME, Sept. 4 ). Both wrecks were due to sudden storms, could be set down as acts of God. But last week's Erie smash-up was the kind that all railroad men most deplore-the reckless failure of man power. After dusk the Atlantic Express (No. 8) pulled out of the Binghamton station on its way from Chicago...
...prudent Oriental, Feisal habitually employed a Court Taster except when in England, lest an enemy poison him. The royal corpse was not cold before some of the more excitable members of his staff demanded an autopsy to determine whether or not their sovereign's sudden death was due to foul play.

Thus did Publisher Hearst's sudden crusade to oust the Mayor of the No. 2 U.S. city finally come crashing out into the open. For a week the front pages of the Herex and the afternoon American had been smeared with thundering innuendos to the effect that a top-notch Chicago politician had been in an income tax jam with the Federal Government. The constant use of Mayor Kelly's picture left readers in small doubt as to who was meant. All the Mayor would say when questioned was: "Any answer I might make would...
Though his Mexico City Orchestra was the first he has publicly conducted, Iturbi's metamorphosis is no sudden miracle. He likes to tell how he led a music academy band in his native Valencia when he was 12, how he has prepared long and secretly for the podium. During his concert tours in the U. S. since 1929 he has spent most of his spare time in New York studying orchestra scores, watching Toscanini and others conducting the Philharmonic-Symphony. Says Jose Iturbi: "I am like Diogenes. All my life I search for an honest musician. I find Arturo...
