...into the U. S. Senate along with many another radical. This Senator from Iowa was no radical at heart, no Smith Wildman Brookhart, no Magnus ("Magnavox") Johnson. He soon was known for what he was-efficient, profoundly informed, hard-working legislator, Chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, co-author of Esch-Cummins Transportation Act, later Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. This year he has been conspicuous as staunch backer of the Coolidge Administration on every issue except farm relief. But Iowa perhaps prefers radicals.

...towering waterspout. There is much overwritten "psychology" in the book, but also much sensitive color-the reflection of a ripple crossing a ship's eager figurehead like a smile; a cloud of gulls "flickering like white flames" over brown glebe. The sea-lore is strong and spacious. Author Jesse, a grandniece of the late Lord Tennyson, has sailed many an ocean between spells of being a London literary celebrity and Crown servant...
