Ghettos to Gin Rummy. Last week's peaceful strike tied up the industry from Massachusetts to Delaware. In all, 105,000 workers walked out of 2,286 shops. Retailers howled. Although most shops have 80% or 85% of their Easter clothes in stock, many were caught short of supply, and no one will be able to reorder if a popular line sells...

Although a minor art, such miniature scenes are precious records of everyday secular...
When Casement finally landed in Kerry on his ill-fated expedition, he seems to have been near despair, guessing that the scheduled Easter Rising was foredoomed to failure. He actually hoped to prevent it, but it was too late. Foiled and captured, he had only one role left: to die. He did that in style. During his trial. Casement's main preoccupation was the speech he would make from the dock. It came out very well, almost as well as that of Robert Emmet to whom the Irish in America had often compared...
