...were changed at the last moment. Admiring throngs lined the streets over which it was announced the President was to pass on his automobile trip to Southern Indiana across Louisville's new $5,000,000 municipal bridge (then unopened to the public-but since thrown open to traffic, Oct. 31) and likewise throngs waited in the rain for the President on his scheduled route to the Brown Hotel. Plans were changed so that these routes were but partly used, the bridge was not crossed and thousands of those who made it possible for Kentucky to give Mr. Hoover...
Cortez. Lionel Atwill and William Faversham, both historic stage wooers, have already this season displayed their best cavalier postures in plays productive of little else (TIME, Oct. 21, Nov. 4).

Now all banks, even the Federal Reserve System, issue more money in paper than they have...
...Oct. 23-Nov. 12. Why the crash came on Oct. 23, 1929, is as mysterious (and as unimportant) as why the World War chanced to begin on Aug. 4, 1914. If some trace the War no further than to an archducal assassination, then others might trace the Crash to a variety of such moments as that when Goldman Sachs terminated the syndicate on their Blue Ridge investment trust. Vital point is the undermining of popular confidence that ended in the crash...
