...they had an apparatus which would show, on a sort of artificial horizon, every object for a mile around, together with its distance and direction, ship captains nosing uneasily ahead through a fog would be much safer and happier. So far such a mariner's boon has not appeared. Yet it seems to be on the way, because the problem is simply one of technical ingenuity in applying principles already understood...
Meanwhile Prisoner Bernstein has had a far happier lot in jail than most political prisoners. His clothes and laundry are sent in from his home, his food from restaurants. He is allowed a glass of beer daily and a full bottle of burgundy on Sundays, permitted to receive the London Times, and TIME, a privilege few free Germans enjoy.

At one, 15 freshmen Senators who had supported the President's Court Bill, at least till near the last, mourned with the new Democratic leader, Senator Barkley. At the other, a happier affair, the Court Bill's opponents including Senators Wheeler, Burke, Mc-Carran, Clark, celebrated with famed Attorney Frank Hogan and Woodrow Wilson's one man brain trust, Joseph P. Tumulty. This second group of Senators celebrated not only the passing of the Old Court Bill but the birth of the New Court Bill whose swift enactment...
