...money at first, but Photographer Abbott landed with the Federal Art Project in 1935. A direct girl who still talks harsh Ohio, still wears a Left Bank haircut and beret, she confesses to being scared of heights and crowds until she gets her head under the black cloth. Her dizziest shots are nevertheless sharp, hard and sense-making, though her best are meditative portraits of comely, plain old buildings, dingy shop fronts, chapfallen façades selected from the vast 19th-Century underbrush among Manhattan's skyscrapers...
...Temple Stadium at Philadelphia perhaps the dizziest game of all was staged between 67-year-old Pop Warner's Temple boys and 59-year-old Gil Dobie's Boston College boys.

...shelves has increased immeasurably. If A & P decided to discredit national brands as a preliminary to making everything it sold, that would be horrid news to U. S. foodmen. That the New-Orleans handbill might be the opening gun in just such a campaign was the dizziest speculation that occurred to food manufacturers. Another was that the handbills were intended as a gratuitous slap at the Robinson-Patman Act (against price discrimination). After foodmen had stewed for a full week in these possibilities, A & P's President Hartford disowned the cat that had popped out of his bag. From...
