...Bright, bald-headed young William Christian Bullitt, first U. S. Ambassador to the U. S. S. R., went to Warm Springs for his last instructions before leaving for Moscow. He was told to go to his post, find a place to live, settle himself, return as soon as he discovered what sort of settlement of U. S. and Russian prerecognition claims the Kremlin would agree...

Scot MacDonald turned his political coat with the tide, joined forces with Conservative Baldwin, announced himself a "National Laborite" (for which he was expelled...
...Manhattan appeared the first issues of the second U. S. Negro daily newspaper,* the Daily Citizen, published and edited by bald, brown William M. Kelley, onetime editor of the weekly Amsterdam News. Publisher Kelley got his paper started by selling stock at $5 a share to Harlem notables like Bishop R. C. Lawson, Alderman John W. Smith, Mortician Rodney Dade; white politicians like Tammany District Leader Thomas F. Murray; and to ordinary residents of Harlem reached by door to door canvass. In appearance, the tabloid Citizen looks like a compromise between the dignified Evening Post and the blatant Daily Mirror...
