...smug sense of triumph pervaded British business last week. On London's Piccadilly, in the City, in the studio suburb of Elstree, even in the little dead end of Downing Street, good Britons congratulated each other on a new and imperial prospect for the British cinema. Cause of all this decorous good feeling was a cigar-puffing 64-year-old onetime Glasgow solicitor named John Maxwell, who had just upset the biggest film deal of the year-to make an even bigger one. Mr. Maxwell had as good as bought Gaumont-British, thereby discomfiting two resounding Hollywood names...
...define the undefinable is the age-old effort to embalm the amateur spirit in codes of black and white, but anyone who saw Saturday's game, although the words may still not come, knows now and will never forget what that spirit is. Saturday's game saw the triumph of the amateur spirit over the milk diet, and sports writers will be busy all week comparing it to the battle of the Marne, to Thermopylae, to whatever overworked allusion they can conjure up to the triumph of bare courage in the face of overwhelming odds...

...York (47 electoral votes). Franklin Roosevelt chose to deliver his first frankly political speech of the campaign (see p. 13) at the Syracuse convention last week which renominated Herbert Lehman for Governor of New York. That nomination was a triumph for Roosevelt rather than Lehman. Lehman, who earnestly wished to retire, was practically bludgeoned into running by fellow Democrats at last summer's National Convention (TIME, July 6). The Democratic high command knew that Franklin Roosevelt's hope of success in his own State was precarious...
