...Governors" you comment on Gov. George. W. P. Hunt of Arizona as follows: "Unique among all U. S. political executives is Democrat George Wylie Paul Hunt.'' Then follows a farrago of inanities of personal description such as "once strong as an ox, now 69 and bald as a turtle," etc. and "No U. S. mustache is more famed than his. Once frowsy and walrusy, it is now smartly waxed." How, in the name of common sense does this latter connect up with or throw light upon his uniqueness?

The producers have become aggressively intent on selling coal derivatives-pulverized coal, tar, fuel oil, gasoline, gas, dyes, perfumes, drugs, alcohol, etc., etc. How to get those products, scientists already know much; how to utilize that knowledge, coal men know very little...
...theorists and conjecturers wondered how the Republican South would be recognized, what new Californians might be taken to Washington, whether Mrs. Willebrandt would get her long-sought judgeship, etc., etc. Upon two basic matters, however, observers were satisfied-that the major appointments would contain a minimum of politics, a maximum of fitness; and that many an oldtime Hoover man would be recalled...
