...heard about the private bathroom in blue marble in Mr. Ickes' office," snorted Joe Bailey, "but I've never seen it and I wouldn't go so far as to say that Mr. Ickes takes a bath." With an angry gesture he raised his arm and wham, flung the book to the floor. In a twinkling, Oklahoma Democrat Elmer Thomas scrambled over to pick it up, lay it gently on a desk. At this point tobacco-chewing Cotton Ed Smith, who had no doubt been restrained by his colleagues from giving his standard anti-lynching argument on behalf of Southern...

For the first time at Buckingham Palace the crowned heads danced...

At Radcliffe, Wellesley, Smith, and Vassar, however, the averages are, respectively, 8.78, 7.60, 7.80, and 6.43. The public in these cases varies from 5.3 to the colossal figure of 7.78, and in extreme individual cases even...
