...that tart, vital words would follow the fulsome compliment. Two days previously Il Duce had given his Cabinet the most dramatic shaking up in the history of his regime. He had kicked himself out of seven* of the eight Cabinet ministries he previously held -retaining only the portfolio of Interior and of course the Prime Ministry. Wildest rumors were current as to what this might portend: 1) That he had negotiated a secret pact of union between Italy and Hungary and was clearing his decks to become Supreme Chancellor of this dual realm; 2) That he was preparing to proclaim...
...gangsters in a loop dive, other scenes of the same gangsters being converted "to the religion of Henry Ford,'' by a bawdily singing Salvation Army worker. Then the curtain rose on the third act, entitled "In the Cathedral of the New Religion." The scene was a church interior. Over the high altar hung a sign "BETHLEHEM STEEL IS BEST." In the wall were three enormous glass paintings, prominently labeled, depicting three white-robed and haloed saints. There was a mummy-like SAINT JOHN (Rockefeller), a scrawny SAINT HENRY (Ford) and a blue-nosed SAINT PIERPONT (Morgan). From...

Little was heard of it then. Printed on 160 single-spaced pages the Fortes Gil Labor Code is too complex for one Mexican in 1,000 to grasp. Basically it aims to displace the present ill-coordinated State labor laws with a sweeping Federal system of drastic potency. Passage of the necessary Constitutional amendment last week gives the President a free hand to railroad enactment...
...young woman; it was just that she had an apartment of her own." The story is completely overshadowed by their maneuvers. Their talk embraces: incompetency of U. S. criticism, monogamy v. polygamy, decline of detective stories, postures of college radicals, difficulty of censoring silent cinema, cosmopolitan U. S. interior decoration, Manhattan's dead gentility, U. S. bibulous and Prohibited. U. S. "boobisms," name-changing, sentimentality Bernard Shaw's chief charm, U. S. lack of romantic or musical appreciation, social rise of the Southern Negro, exercise unnecessary, emasculation of U. S. actors by Anglicizing, a six-page list...
