...Manhattan last week packed into their new Tammany Hall on Union Square. For 90 minutes they milled anxiously through the reception room, the ballrooms, chewing cigars, shaking heads, muttering. Suddenly a door opened at the head of a narrow iron stairway. A man appeared and yelled out: "Curry!" Loud and long did the Tammany leaders cheer. There were free drinks that night in many a downtown speakeasy...
...frescoes are devoted to the city and country laborer, miner, country school teacher, market place, burial, festival, harvest, battle. Satirically bent, he has depicted a dinner table group including John Davison Rockefeller, John Pierpont Morgan and Henry Ford. Ticker tape winds among the wine glasses. There is a radio loud speaker, a steel safe door, a lamp shaped like the Statue of Liberty, an artificial female in a backless gown. But satire is a rarity with Artist Rivera. Most of his work is a sympathetic tale told with figures that have the bare graphic form of Giotto and the incandescent...
...enormous throne sat tiny King Vittorio Emanuele, looking even smaller than usual under a terrific damask canopy surmounted by a vast crown. When he rose to deliver the "speech from the throne"-that is to say, Mussolini's declaration of policy-the voice of His Majesty rang loud and clear.

Exporter Filsinger told the delegates that he was very sorry not to be in Baltimore with them. Then he made his champagne cork pop, thus testifying to the miracles of modern science...
...affecting scenes of the celebration. The marshal of the day called "the class of 1759." There was no response--the only survivor, a gentleman from Maine, being incapacitated from attendance. Successive classes were summoned; there was a hush over that immense concourse that would have made a footfall seem loud. At length "the class of 1744" was called; a feeble old man stepped forth, and passed along the aisle alone. A reaction was experienced, and a burst of animated cheers followed his tottering foot-steps. It was a grand moment. I know nothing finer in the poetry of life...
