...students should not support Sullivan merely because he has ceased to make them the butt of his new stories. Much more convincing are "his generosity to the needy people of the ward" and his improvement in the sewerage system which eliminated the danger of flooded cellars. To his job as Councillor, Sullivan has lent a "glamor" which "The Boston Evening American" admits "would take a whole page" to describe and which is rivaled only by B.D.D. Frazier in her own Ward.

Publishers suppress facts which are financially dangerous, distort facts to influence public opinion against economic reform. Ickes produces facts and figures...
...gone back to their city homes. There, with all schools closed, they ran wild in the streets. The Catholic Herald estimated there were 100,000 at large in London. While the press regarded the situation with "dismay," the Government stood adamant against opening schools in the danger areas, lest it encourage a wholesale return. It did, however, recall 200 teachers to London, sent them out to round up youngsters in the streets and hold impromptu classes on sandbags, in church crypts, in basements...
