...Hearst Jr. was elected to the honorable but empty job of an AP vice president. Roy Howard, too, as head of Scripps-Howard Newspapers, made his peace with AP several years ago and now controls six memberships. Last year he visited the Orient at the same time as Kent Cooper, AP's able general manager, and the two were wined and dined together like the best of friends...
Hearst's International News Photos turned it down. So did Times Wide World and Acme (a first cousin to United Press and Scripps-Howard). But AP's Kent Cooper called together his directors and his smart picture chief, Norris Huse.

The job would cost more than a million dollars a year, $560,000 in wire tolls alone. With careful...

When Francisco Madero (Henry B. Walthall), who was historically Mexico's president from November 1911 to February 1913. appears on the scene he realizes Villa's usefulness, invites...
...facts are here, indeed, but one remains uncertain as to the case which they constitute. A tradition is necessary, Mr. Wade assumes. But he hardly defines the single tradition of which Franklin, Cooper, Whitman, Poe and James are equally the representatives. He leaves in the air their common Americanism. Consequently when Mr. Wade comes to "developments after 1900" he only convinces one that there has been in these years a good deal of miscellaneous activity; he does not persuade one that this activity represents a real growth which in the natural course of things must flower. He leaves one with...
