Australia's Labor Party is further rent by a Catholic Action group led by a secretive Melbourne lawyer named Bartholomew Santamaria. who is dedicated to fighting Communism in the labor unions. In a land where half the union membership is Catholic, Santamaria's activities have stirred up cries of "clerical intervention." and Australia's Catholic hierarchy no longer actively supports him.

...when a handful of dedicated writers and editors, among them Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott, George S. Kaufman, Ring Lardner, and Harold Ross of The New Yorker practiced their art with a lapidary's care. Clinging together for mutual support, they met weekdays as the Vicious Circle, a social group that lunched at the Algonquin Hotel and traded mots and puns, Saturday nights over the poker table of the Thanatopsis Literary and Inside Straight Club.
