...down strikes was not the only thing which reminded observers of the medieval dance mania last week as they watched the U. S. Sit-Down epidemic of 1937 spread out across the land. From Salem witchcraft persecution to Ku Klux Klan, from Gold Rush of 1849 to Bull Market of 1929, the U. S. has shown itself no less subject than its sister nations to seizures of mass hysteria. The Sit-Down last week remained primarily a new and powerful weapon in the hands of Organized Labor. But the 600 cigar-factory girls who sat down for extra...
...that he would soon be leaving, too. Famed as a wizard of political analysis after calling the turn in the 1932 and 1934 election's. Statistician Hurja was outdone by his boss last November when he guessed only 376 electoral votes for Roosevelt, against "General" Farley's bull's-eye 523.

But even if bond buyers overlooked that last week, they could not, and did not, overlook two ominous signals from Washington. One was President Roosevelt's observation in his fireside talk that "the dangers of 1929 are again becoming possible, not this week or month but within a year or two." The other signal was that the last official caller at the White...
...banquet. In their center, holding a silver goblet of wine in his hand is His Majesty, King Henry II of England. He is a rough, squarely-built man, with a red face attached to the rest of his body by a neck that resembles that of a bull. His eyes are large, and tonight a veritable fire seems to come from them. As he begins to speak, in a loud, rough voice, the lords and ladies in the hall stop their walking and face...
