...instinct of buck privates they are tired of being led by well-to-do officers who seem to be taking orders from the White House. Organized originally as an explicitly non-political body, they have, through the exhortations of ambitious leaders and the promises of office-seeking politicians, become conscious of their political power. Throughout the land they this year elected to the Portland convention an overwhelming number of delegates pledged to put the Legion on record for Bonus cashing. The B. E. F. episode only served to intensify their demand. Their attitude was emotional, not rational. Inside the Portland...

All such and many mere need for a space a designed environment; they require education but under...
...piece of porcelain stood alone on a green throne, simpler than Prajadhipok's. A seven-foot bathtub surnamed the Bourbon Luxury was flooded with soft lighting, framed in banks of peonies, on a marble stage. The National Association of Master Plumbers' annual exposition was definitely art-conscious. The Master Plumbers claimed that their "glorification of the unmentionable" had evolved a "new conception" of the bathroom. The New Bathroom is designed 1) to dress in; 2) to keep clean in; 3) to relax in. It is the cinema bathroom on a small scale. It has a bath-rail beside...
