...supporters are likely to take the same stand. Already last week eleven Republican Senators got together at luncheon to root for the farmer in a way that forebodes their voting for the Haugen bill or something similar. Among the eleven were several whose votes the Administration cannot normally count on: Norbeck, Norris, Howell, Johnson, McMaster, Frazier. But among them were also several normal regulars: Gooding, Watson, Cummins, Deneen, McNary. The first three of the latter were up for reelection.

Returning to London, he finds his fortune times and times bigger than expected. In fact it is millions and millions of pounds...
...tradition, it may be of interest to know the plan or organization by which it will function and carry out the intended purposes. The primary aim will be scientific research. Most of the results are gleaned from a study of abnormal cases, since these are merely exaggerations of the normal. Another way that research can be carried on is by experimentation with people who are hypnotized, thus getting at their sub-conscious reactions and impressions...
