...judge any program by whether I think it tends to distribute power and bring about equilibrium, whether it tends to destroy privilege, whether it subjects itself to reason and measures itself by criteria-the chief criterion in the economic field being the release of productive energy. My program, which is the program of a journalist, and not the program of a person with any political ambitions whatsoever, is to try to make more people think along these lines...
...before 1920. Meanwhile, insolvent roads "economize" by spending four and five times the cost of a new locomotive in piecemeal repairs to hopelessly obsolescent engines, although new freight engines would work 75-125,000 miles a year instead of 30-40,000 miles as the old ones do, would bring operating savings great enough to pay for themselves in a few years. Particularly true is this of Diesel switchers (which use fuel only when actually switching, do not puff while waiting). Diesel switchers are said to pay for themselves in two years, but only a fraction of U. S. switchers...

The attempt will be to bring together, through surveys of research and literature, the reliable results of investigation in this relatively new field up to the present time...
...make amateurs feel like virtuosos has been, in recent years, one great object of U. S. electrical engineers. Six years ago Radio Engineer Benjamin Franklin Miessner patented an electronic piano, in which pickups and a loudspeaker do the work of a sounding board and make amateurs dynamic enough to bring in the neighbors. Today eight companies are licensed to make electronics. Last week big Radio Corporation of America entered this potentially large field...

Composer of the music for The Love Parade (1929), Schertzinger started his campaign to bring opera to the screen when he had Grace Moore trill in One Night of Love, thus setting the fashion for innumerable musical films. Since all works of Gilbert & Sullivan (except The Pirates of Penzance) are in the public domain in the U. S., he could easily have produced The Mikado in Hollywood without paying royalties to the D'Oyly Carte Company, which owns the English rights...
