...remodeled barn on his uncle's Connecticut estate. "We are drifting into an era of journalese," warned Publisher Laughlin. "Let us oppose the principle of destruction with the principle of creation."

...Twenty-nine passengers whose papers were in order were permitted to land. Remaining were 908 who had only provisional permits of the Cuban Immigration Department to land as passengers en route to the U. S.-and on May 5, nine days before the St. Louis sailed, hard-faced President Federico Laredo Bru had decreed that Cuba required specific permission of the Departments of State, Labor and the Treasury.
