Most Democratic workers knew Candidate Stevenson only as a name. A grandson of Grover Cleveland's Vice President, he is a suave, able, well-liked socialite lawyer with an anxious expression, a rueful laugh, a lemony sense of humor-and a tongue in his head that has won him a reputation in Chicago for soundly progressive ideas. He has been away from Chicago for nearly seven years. He served as a wartime assistant to Secretaries Frank Knox, Cordell Hull and Ed Stettinius; he went abroad on several missions for the State Department. Stevenson has numerous friends both...
McBride and De Valera have one thing in common: they both profess to believe in a Republican Ireland isolated and cut off from the rest of the world; and most of the young people in the country are anxious to see Eire take its stand with the U.S. and Great Britain in their effort to create better world conditions...

Breeding stock as well as steers have been slaughtered. Result: the total of U.S. cattle has dropped to 76 million, down 3,000,000 in a year. This has saved grain for Europe, but it will mean much less meat for the U.S. next year. Furthermore, the production of beef, which rises and falls in a regular seven-year cycle, is now on the downgrade and will slide till...
