...appearance he personifies the Southwestern statesman of a past era. Full-bodied, he has slender legs and phenomenally small feet. His face is round and soft, yet handsome. On his wavy black hair, worn longish, he pulls down an oldfashioned, broad-brimmed black felt hat. His clothes are dark and a trifle tight. Black bow ties cover his collar button. An instinctive politician, he has a ready smile, a friendly chuckle, hosts of one-name friends. He is a Knight of Pythias, Son of the American Revolution, Methodist Episcopalian (South), all in good standing. He smokes cigars, chews...
...tied her $25,000,000 property up in trust for ten years. A King daughter is Mrs. Alice Gertrudis Kleberg, mother of the new Congressman. After her is named Santa Gertrudis, the great ranch house at Kingsville where visitors are royally entertained, where meals are served at a soft, table by Mexican servants, where a feudal atmosphere still prevails.

...opening day reporters, greeting each other with soft cries of "Ugh! Ugh!" and "How!", tiptoed among celebrities to look at painted jars, baskets, totem poles, Navajo rugs, blankets, silver bracelets, earrings, belt buckles, turquoise necklaces, beaded quivers. Art critics were most interested in two small galleries where hung water color sketches showing ceremonial dances and hunting scenes by living Indian painters. All were in the native tradition, with brilliant color, splendid sense of design, for the most part excellently drawn. Among the best painters: Fred Kabotie, a smiling Hopi, and straight-nosed Ma Pe Wi, from the Rio Grande...
...persistency of a man who would sit all day upon a wet rock with a "rod as long and as heavy as a Tartar's lance," whatever that might be. Our fathers step out into the bright lights of Broadway from a Theatre Guild production, with a soft sigh for days when Thomas Jefferson made Rip Van Winkle stretch his cramped legs upon a New York stage. And Ichabod Crane has become a fixture in America, one might even say a plumbing fixture...
