...Gang's All Here. Although the authors (Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee) insist that they have not confined their history to the seamy politics of Warren Gamaliel Harding, no one who remembers the Teapot Dome scandal will feel obliged to believe them. Not that telling the truth is bad theater, but in this case it does not seem to pay. Melvyn Douglas does nobly as the ash-flaked, unbuttoned ex-Senator trying to forget the presidency, an office he neither understands nor is fitted for, and veteran Comedian Bert Wheeler is a natural as his poker-playing sidekick...
...charge of private railway cars for the White House and State Department. Reid's bipartisan White House favorites: Harry Truman and Grace Coolidge.

But in Warren Gamaliel Harding, able Orator Cox and his running mate, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (a young man he later came to differ with in political philosophy), faced an Ohio publisher whose easygoing ways eminently suited the times. Cox carried only eleven Southern states. Jim Cox vowed never again to seek public office...
...Jerusalem, and a targum (i.e., a translation of a Hebrew text into Aramaic, the colloquial language of Christ's time) of the Book of Job. In all probability this is the targum that disappeared when it was suppressed (for still-obscure theological reasons) by Rabbi Gamaliel I, teacher of Saul the Pharisee, who later rode down the road to Damascus to become Paul the Apostle...
