...point at which to enter Paris 1937 is the hopefully green Peace Tower at the gate formed by the two great marble wings of the new Trocadero Palace, this to be a permanent structure housing Paris art exhibits of the highest class. From it visitors descend broad steps with the Eiffel Tower rising ahead of them across the Seine, on their left the massive German pavilion with its brooding Nazi eagle, on their right the flamboyant Soviet pavilion topped by excited proletarian figures, and before them a great basin of foaming fountains, flanked by assorted foreign pavilions. Massive-pillared Egypt...
...study at the University of Pennsylvania, become an Episcopal minister. A radical, David Colony was assigned to teach Latin at swank Episcopal Academy and assist in a church at Rosemont, both on the Main Line and both cool to his notions.

It still has a long way to go to reach the huge figures of the Daily Express (2,162,979), Daily Herald (2,000,000), Daily Mail (1,717,133). But in prestige and influence...
...last week that tireless journalistic tribune of the people, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, had gone far enough into the background of the sale to start a first class Missouri scandal. The Board of Fund Commissioners' official explanation of Baum, Bernheimer's third big bond purchase was that the State Bi-Partisan Advisory Board had recommended "immediate" sale of the bonds to pay for July and August construction work at State prisons, that a public sale would have taken at least 30 days. Advisory Board Chairman Sam E. Trimble, however, declared that the board had been aware...
