...between elections except raise money and hold the party together. State research bureaus grow moldy, contact between national and State party headquarters virtually ends, party headquarters settle down to the long, slow snores of their political hibernation. Worst of all, leadership of the party as a whole ceases to exist. Said David Lawrence: "It is not likely that the Republican Party will win a national election in our times unless it gives up the idea that it can do in three and a half months what an incumbent administration, possessed of the power of publicity and funds...
...blue-eyed, prematurely white, a graduate of Williams and Oxford, he served in the Navy during World War I, has been at big (1,419 communicants), fashionable St. Luke's since 1924. There he has introduced, but not publicized, two services which most Episcopalians do not even know exist, though provision was made for them in the last prayer-book revision of 1928.

The next day, jut-jawed, broad face pale, he delivered a bilious soliloquy, kindled bitterness on all sides...
...materials of In the Money are so simple that, judged even by the flattest traditions of Naturalism, they scarcely exist. Joe Stecher is a German-American, his wife Gurlie is Norwegian, his daughters are Lottie, 5, and Flossie, 2. They live in Manhattan, on 104th Street, and the year is 1901. Joe has quit his job (he is a printer) and is trying against stiff, not to say dirty, opposition to set up in business for himself. He lacks the proper piratical zest; but Gurlie is hell-bent to get him-and herself-In the Money. In the long...
