...referred to is where the President goes to sign or veto bills when he does not choose to wait for them to be sent to him at the White House. Speeches on its decorations have caused mirth before last week's Heffling. Among the capitol guides is an angular-winded woman, who, when she has herded a group of sightseers into the President's room, points at a female figure painted on the ceiling, and chants in a nasal sing-song that can be heard down the outer corridors: "And that lady there is called...
When workers in the silk mills of Paterson, N. J., were on strike in 1924, some of them met in a local hall to rehash their grievances. The police forbade them to hold another such meeting. Roger N. Baldwin, an angular idealist from New York, whose mission in life as a director of the American Civil Liberties Union includes attending and abetting important strikes, was in Paterson at the time.

Wisely, the wife allows the little...
...Sempack is the Wellsian spokesman, an angular, hairy length of finely developed humanity who shambles about among the guests of a pretty Mrs. Cynthia Rylands on the Italian Riviera, talking calmly, kindly, but grimly and incessantly about the World State that science will eventually create. A sophisticated ineffectual from the U. S., a Mr. Plantagenet-Buchan, assists the great man by neatly defining as "meanwhiling" the occupation of all people, himself included, who are not consciously accelerating the World State's arrival. A timid Tory, and a British Fascist; a beautiful Lady Catherine; some tennis and bridge players including...
