...seems overconfident of conquering, and under which most of them suffer acute forebodings of defeat. To my mind, the most startling revelation of these productions is not to what extent the thoughtful undergraduate has become preoccupied with the fate of society, but the all-too-ominous mood which this concern has evoked.

...different story, however, was the report of Amoskeag Manufacturing Co., biggest cotton textile producer in New England. The famed old Manchester, N. H. concern was once again in the red by $1,000,000 even without any allowance for depreciation. Blamed was the decline of the New England cotton business.

Two were employees whom business concerns needed to keep healthy. The other 95 were holders of insurance policies whom...
...troubles was with the New York Stock Exchange, his old and favorite enemy. Back in 1932 when Mr. Andrews was booming the sale of securities in packages of one share each in 25 or 50 corporations, the Stock Exchange forbade its members to execute orders for the Andrews selling concern. By the time an injunction was obtained the cream was off the packaged securities business, and the Andrews company still has a $21,000,000 damage suit pending against the Stock Exchange's 40 august governors...
