...Publisher Ogden Reid's cousin. Hoover Secretary of the Treasury Ogden Mills. Another has been the behavior of its distinguished columnists-the lamentation of Mark Sullivan, the oscillation of Dorothy Thompson, the tergiversation of Walter Lippmann. Another has been its feature, ''The Roosevelt Record," a disparaging comparison of Roosevelt promise and performance syndicated to 18 other papers. But the most remarkable contribution to the Herald Tribune's, GOPolemics has been the work of an amateur, Mrs. Preston Davie...
...dwarf ruler Alberich whipping his workers in order to speed up their creation of destructive wealth, symbolized by the Ring forged from the Rhine gold. The artist is here attempting to present the struggle between creative science and material greed, not, as some one tried to interpret it, a comparison between the treatment of regimented and unregimented workers in contemporary Germany.

Only man aboard the David Livingstone special whose morale was tiptop was Alfred Mossman Landon himself. Unsparing of his strength, resolute...
Another interpretation of the Bullock record was presented by SEC in the form, of comparisons of the various trusts with standard stock-market indices-a comparison which makes most investment trusters boil with rage and resentment. According to SEC, the record of all Bullock trusts except two was worse than the Dow Jones or the Standard Statistics market averages. According to Calvin Bullock, the periods selected for comparison were unfair, and by their computations a number of the trusts showed better performance than the averages...
