...very unlikely that Mr. Sinclair's election could automatically bring about all the starting points in his EPIC program, for be will face a legislature which is not only conservative, but which is secuntoured to dancing to the super-conservative time of the late Jim Rolph. But in the present state of business psychology, rumor is as powerful as accomplished fact in raising the already high blood pressure of the financial world. If conservative experts predict that the credit of the United States will be rendered hazardous by the comparatively mild radicalism of Rooseveltianism, it is certain that the startling...
Lefter Than Left. In Washington, Lewis Baxter ("Lewie") Schwellenbach's strongest opponent for the Democratic Senatorial nomination ran on a "Left Wing" platform, advocating state owner ship of utilities. Lefter than left, Candidate Schwellenbach, Seattle attorney, borrowed Upton Sinclair's EPIC plan and campaigned for End Poverty In Washington. He and his EPIW won. A 40-year-old bachelor who lives with his mother, Nominee Schwellenbach has come by his Leftism lately.

To depict academic tradition in the U. S., without Quetzalcoatl, Orozco did Gods of the Modern World?robed skeletons watching an unclothed skeleton give birth to a skeletal foetus in a mortarboard...
...Orozco starts off with this dictum: In every painting, as in every other work of art, there is always an IDEA, never a STORY. This dictum is falsified not only by the great art of painting . . . but by all the other arts including sculpture, and, particularly, the epic from Homer to Dante, and the drama from Aeschylus to Shakespeare. . . . Through these murals a New England institution has allowed a Mexican painter to satirize English-speaking traditions, spiritual, educational and academic, while forcing on the college the extremely tiresome traditions of an alien and somewhat abhorred civilization of the Toltec-Aztec...
