...Smith spoke in plain language and his words went far beyond the tables of the Liberty League. How much opinion he swayed will only be known next fall. One may score the fact that his criticisms of the New Deal were general, that his solutions were highly theoretical and that the telling effects of his shots were somewhat dulled by their humorous setting, necessitated, no doubt, by the camaraderie of the occasion. All this is true, yet what he said is precisely what a large proportion of this country is thinking today. His challenge will have to be answered...
...their folding desks, demanding action while sergeants stalked about impressively. Sweating squads of half-naked soldiers unloaded dust-coated trucks, then for no apparent reason loaded them up again. Field ambulances rolled through the town. Swarms of airplanes took off for mysterious destinations. Something big was happening over beyond the Shibeli River where the black tribesmen of Ras Desta Demtu, hard-working little son-in-law of Haile Selassie, were hiding in the thorn trees...
...Manhattan hotel room the career of a great, oldtime opera singer was reflected last week beyond the eloquence of words. Furniture had been removed to give space for lavish costumes.

Their worst behaved galleries were in Iowa, where spectators were slow to learn that loud chatting and peanut shelling are not good manners at tennis matches. Never likely...
...Review. In infinite variations, combinations and permutations the business chronicle of 1935 was amplified, summarized, dissected, debated, digested, analyzed, expounded, recapitulated and generally spun out to in credible length in thousands of columns in hundreds of U. S. dailies. For innumerable predictions, prophecies and prognostications for 1936 and far beyond the same set of simple facts also served. Year-end reviews are largely newspaper promotional efforts limited in size only by the amount of advertising available. As publishing phenomena they are not confined to the lay press, but trade journals and business dailies hew closer to the record, indulge...
