...hour and a half later, groping blindly through the pea-soup atmosphere over Jersey City, narrowly missing rooftops. Pilot John Salway saw a chance to land in a meadow, saw too late the wires that marked it as the county's 200-acre power plant. A wingtip sheared a 132,000-volt wire. A flash, a crash, a geyser of flaming gasoline ended the episode...
There was just one thing for which Mrs. Borah, small blonde daughter of Idaho's late Governor and Senator William John McConnell, said she would search Europe for her husband: a new recipe for onion soup. Senator Borah likes onion soup, but can never get the right kind.

Though these things combined to make the Hoover Administration acutely unemployment-conscious, none of them answered the question: how many jobless...
...Erich Salomon, under the pseudonym of "Cyclops," with a camera which will take pictures of people where they have never been successfully snapped before?in ordinary electric lamp light. This enables him, for example, to attend a great banquet and photograph a queen with a spoonful of soup at her lips. For the past ten months the Graphic has published such stealth-got snapshots. Last week Graphic readers smirked and tittered at the "Unsuspected Moments" page. Not only had "Cyclops" got a picture of the Belgian Ambassador to Holland sitting on a shrub-hidden staircase with the Countess of Limburg...
