...Borderline States, giving Roosevelt less than a 55% vote: Indiana. Iowa. Kansas, South Dakota. Illinois, Nebraska. Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire...
...closing days of the 1928 first Congressional session he filibustered mightily against passage of the bill to construct Boulder Dam on the theory that populous California would not pay arid and thinly settled Arizona a fair share for water diverted from the Colorado River. He was bitterly disappointed when the bill passed at the next session. Like many another frontier politician, he dreams of U. S. territorial expansion: three years ago he lustily campaigned for U. S. acquisition of Lower California and a slice of Sonora to straighten out Arizona's southern boundary...
...stockmarket crash scarcely caused more of a national rumpus than the decision, in November 1929, to move Amos and Andy's radio time to 7 p. m. New York time. The country had learned to use Andy's word "regusted." The Secretary of State of Colorado and 100,000 other listeners in the West plainly stated their "regust" at the change because they could not get home in time for the broadcast.

...first chapel car called "Chapel Car Evangel" was built in 1891 and used in new towns along the railroads in the West. In 1892 we built our second chapel car, "Emmanuel," and sent it to the Pacific Coast. It was later brought back to Colorado for service.

In 1895 we built our fourth chapel car, "Good-will," given by Baptists in general who were inspired by the generosity...
TIME erred. Of the American Baptist Publication Society's chapel cars, four are currently in use-"Grace" in Wyoming, "Messenger of Peace" in Oregon, "Emmanuel" in Colorado, "Good-Will" in California. Reader Reilly also errs. Notre Dame's chapel car is not maintained by the university, but chartered from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which owns two for Catholic services. These are fitted with altar and rail at one end, with collapsible chairs seating 60 or 70. Nearly every year (but not this year) a wealthy Philadelphia contractor named Joseph Mack assembles about 75 friends, including several priests, hires...
