...Einstein limousine purred down Prague's hill, many a non-Semite looked with envious eye. Well known is the fact that the U.S. Minister's rich father (wool) cut him off with $125,000 when he married his present spouse, because she had been twice before a wife. But later a rich sister placed at Son Einstein's disposal for life an income of $20,000 per year.

...what was in the hearts of many U. S. friends of China, as follows: Give China her recognition quickly, sympathetically, heartily.

...Thompson, college editors and the slightly envious press agents of the eastern mayors to the contrary, is not a complete fool. His slogan is obviously, "praise me or damn me, but be sure to mention my name", and there is little doubt that all the maligning he receives in the public press will do more than increase his plurality in the next Chicago election. Politics and publicity are synonymous, and the easiest way to attain the latter is by insulting the intelligentsia and amusing the thinking minority.
