...which the government would be subordinated to business men. Failing to do this, they must block Mr. Roosevelt; and the present attack on him, for which the cancelling of the air-mail contracts has provided the excuse, is only one phase in the struggle. That this is a conscious attempt of the capitalist class to form a plot against Roosevelt I do not claim, for any such assertion would be ridiculous; but it does represent a more or less unconscious effort by them to unite against what they recognize as a common enemy...
...mistaken in his analysis of the public temper as he was in his estimation of Roosevelt's naivete; the people are, in fact, damn sick and tired of these Clean Cut Young Men; Mr. James Cagney has been substituted as a somewhat bawdier idol, and even the self-conscious college rake with a girl on his arm, a flask on his hip, and a vacuum in his head is held to be preferable to young Master Purity. Roosevelt's rebuke to Lindbergh--even though it does smack somewhat of a teapot tempest--will be loudly cheered by those unfortunate...
Spengler believes that today we are in history's grandest age but sees no reason for individuals to be happy about it. "Greatness and happiness are incompatible and we are given no choice.

A protracted Sunday-supplement feature story. The First Billion casts the late James Stillman for the No. 1 role, with his son. James, his daughter-in-law, "Fin." Frank Vanderlip and Charles E. Mitchell in minor parts. Though Biographer Winkler cannot...
There is reason to belive that President Conant is not only sympathetic to undergraduate financial needs but is also conscious that the level of student expenses is a problem of the first order. Every friend of the College will earnestly hope that he will attack this problem with courage; that he will not be too greatly swayed by persons whose official position narrows their vision to the strict finances of the University budget; and that he will let it be known once and for all that the qualifications for attendance at Harvard College are intellectual and not financial...
