...Becket lies bleeding on the steps of the altar, three college presidents in last Thursday's issue of the Cornell "Daily Sun" came forward to defend the censorship of college publications. They too spoke calmly and rationally. There was none of the fascist in their words; their arguments were built on the homely, utilitarian premises of present-day America. And the reader paused to re-examine those premises...
...taken losses on just 1/1,000% of all business done, observed with customary enthusiasm: "Fifty million dollars worth of building will feel the steam shovels Monday morning!" FHA Administrator McDonald, a onetime motormaker who produced the first cheap, goodlooking car (Moon, Diana), has already done his part. He built himself a house at Palm Beach this winter...
Hugging the coast of southern Georgia lie half-a-dozen bosky islands-Jekyl, where the Vanderbilts built up an estate; Sapelo, where Calvin Coolidge vacationed; Sea Island, developed as a swank resort by Howard Coffin.

He built a skylight into an abandoned pumping station, for which he paid $10 rent a month. Last week Sculptor Lantz was afraid his rent was going to be raised, because he had just won the biggest commission ever awarded by the Treasury Department's Section of Painting & Sculpture -$45,600 for two heroic stone figures to be placed on the terrace of Washington's new "Apex" building, into which the Federal Trade Commission will move...
