Various people will remember 1939 for various things: as the year War II started, when Congressman Martin Dies exposed the Red menace, when Joe Louis beat Tony Galento, when Al Capone got out of jail. Mrs. E. M. Noble, of Minneapolis, Minn., will remember it as the year she crocheted 117,000 feet of thread into a 10' 6" by 6' 4" tablecloth with 2,000,000 patient little stitches and won the crochet championship of the U. S. Prize: $250 in cash, a trip to Manhattan, a gold crochet hook...
...bold patients taught themselves to speak by swallowing air and belching it out in grunts, but until Temple University's Dr. Nathaniel Martin Levin built belch-talk into a system, most larynxless men could never hope to speak again. During the past three years, brief, brisk Dr. Levin has taught 30 men belch-talk. His method is simple, takes some patients only one or two days to learn, is most successful when started right after the operation. A patient swallows air through his mouth, pushes it right out again with his abdominal muscles, chops it into speech with...

American radicalism is neither a coherent philosophy nor a unified political movement. There is not even a united front. Communists and Socialists, Lovestoneites and Trotskyites are engaged in endless guerilla warfare. Because one section of the radical movement supports Stalin, the whole liberal and radical melange is threatened by a tidal wave of reaction...
...last week 58,000 Chrysler men were out of work. "Locked out," said Frankensteen. "Walked out," said Weckler. "Go back to work," bellowed Martin, echoed by the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin (somehow managing to misquote an encyclical of the late Pope Pius XI), echoed also by the U. S. press. In plants supplying Chrysler with parts, jigs, tools, dies, thousands more were idle-probably...
