Pennsylvania. "Wholehearted" was perhaps not the word for the support which the Mellons gave Gifford Pinchot, though it accurately described the non-support he got from Philadelphia's Boss Vare and Railroader William Wallace Atterbury. For weeks it had seemed that John M. Hemphill, a Democrat-"Liberal" with Beer, Business and a little black toothbrush on his lips, would be the anointed one and make Pennsylvania history. Yet when Allegheny County's (the Mellons') votes were counted, there were 70,000 extra for Pinchot?the backlog of his 50,000 statewide majority?and Theodore Roosevelt's forester was returned...
...Ferdinand Schaefer was weel trained in Germany before he came to the U.S. He was first violinist in the famed Gewandhaus orchestra in Leipzig, had conducting experience with several Leipzig and Berlin organizations.

Rumor said that Bugs last week came out of hiding to: 1) negotiate with Capone for a beer-peddling and gambling job in the North Side he once had ruled; 2) plot, with Aiello, Capone's death. He was arrested, questioned. He joked police and newsgatherers: "Who killed Lingle [TIME, June 23, et seq.] and Zuta? That's easy -Santa Claus! . . . I'm a lover...
...famous Irish wit is made to look like a second rate effusion of Mr. Colley Cibber. Shaw, "has the brain of a juvenile Machiavelli superposed on a crybaby, philistine, middle-class soul... His brain is a half-inch layer of champagne poured over a bucket of Methodist near-beer." All Mr. De Casseres sees in Shaw is the mountebank who jigs for money, the Barnum of the drama, and nothing else. After reading this book the Shabian bubble is pierced...
