Thus did swart little Mayor Fiorello Henry LaGuardia of Greater New York (childless but the parent of a small adopted daughter) describe the economy bill finally passed in his city's behalf last week by the State Legislature, ending a conflict in which a Fusion-Republican Mayor and a Regular Democratic Governor had bucked a Tammany-influenced Legislature for 100 days (TIME...
...published a book on the nature and limitations of physical science. On the experimental front pious Dr. Millikan, who believes the cosmic rays are by-products of the creation of matter in interstellar space, argues that "the Creator is still on the job," that Science and Religion do not conflict.

Govern the tongue, that unruly member. The church conflict has filled the mass of our people with astonishment, scorn and bitterness, for they cannot understand why pastors should quarrel. Nothing cures the itch for church politics like a visit to the sick...
