...journalistic reticence was first broken in 1929 when the St. Louis Post-Dispatch specifically mentioned syphilis in a report of a St. Louis meeting of the Na tional Society for the Prevention of Blind ness. Last year breaks in the taboo began appearing far & wide. The Chicago Tribune published three full-page articles on syphilis in its Sunday editions. In New York, the News (circulation 1,629,000), put on a campaign to publicize syphilis with news stories, editorials, cartoons, has sold 16,054 reprints at 5? each.

P. told how spying neighbors described to a Police Recorder what they had seen through the windows of Mrs. Czinkota's home...
...closing in all around and only some 30 miles away as the week opened, the facade of the "Spanish Republic" was noticeably crumbling. At Geneva last week the diplomatic representative of Premier Largo Caballero, "The Spanish Lenin," made shrill speeches about Democracy being at stake in Madrid, but uncensored dispatches brought by courier pictured the Capital as ruled in fact by proletarian Terror. Estimating that between 10,000 and 15,000 persons have been executed by Government firing squads in Madrid or simply butchered in their homes and on the streets by mobster adherents of Premier Largo Caballero, a courier...
