...Moscow to sell a set of murals. But when he refused to revise the mural to Red specifications, i.e., make Stalin a more prominent figure, the Reds refused to pay for it, and Burck returned to the U.S. He worked for a year at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch under Dan Fitzpatrick (TIME, June 22) before joining the Chicago Times. Burck stoutly denied he was ever a Communist in spirit, said that he signed the party card only as a matter of "expediency," and that he never attended closed party meetings. As to why he never became a citizen after...
...Missouri, a politician once told a staffer of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "I could answer your editorials, but what can you 'do with that guy who draws cartoons?''

In October 1861, a New York Tribune correspondent in Missouri wrote...
...must also credit the Provost with Harvard's admission program. It is true that he and the deans and the directors were late, and their dispatch, once work was begun, in no sense atones for the years of slumber. Yet, of greater long-range importance, the Provost has kept Harvard's program clean. He has not perverted it, as even many Ivy League colleges have done, into a vacuum pump, sucking at every high-school football field, swimming pool, and baseball diamond, specking to relieve athletic deficits by cheapening education. Now and again, there may be violations of the scholarship...
