>When TIME'S editors make news. TIME will describe them.—Tall, balding, beetle-browed ED.

Peace Mongers

Sirs:

After printing the faces of the war mongers for the past year on your cover will you please let us see the faces of some of our men in public life who do not have murder in their hearts, namely, Borah, Vandenberg, Nye and Hiram Johnson, or is TIME also interested in war profiteering?

MRS. S. R. DOLEN Detroit, Mich. >See cover.—ED.

Exotropic Kennedy

Sirs:

Before the bold Irish mug of the Ambassador to Great Britain appears again on TIME'S cover [Sept. 18] or before he runs for President, I hope Kathleen or her handsome mother can do something about those hornrimmed glasses he affects. Some Kennedys think themselves wise as owls. Joe must want to look like one.

RICHARD P. KENNEDY Edwardsville, III. >Ambassador Kennedy's glasses are no affectation (see below).—ED.

Sirs:

. . . You say of Ambassador Kennedy that he has "one sharp eye on the market and one fond eye on his children." He is peculiarly fitted to perform such a feat, as his picture on the cover shows that he is exotropic, i. e., when he looks straight ahead with either eye the other turns out. . . . Maybe this is why he is doing such a good job of observing what is happening on all sides.
