...Bone heartily dislikes, do not understand why Bone, of all men, should be afflicted by melancholy. Indisputably his State's most popular politician, he amassed 243,682 votes in the Democratic primary this year to 196,876 for all his opponents. He spends no money in the primary, except for gas and oil, and has just returned a $500 check from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, explaining that he does not propose to spend any on the election either. This attitude, which might be pose in another politician, seems natural to anyone who knows Homer Bone...
Broker Dennis advocated severe penalties for radio stations permitting such swing raids. Immediate cause of this protest was a broadcast swing version of Bach's D Minor Toccata. Scolded indignant Mr. Dennis: "By no stretch of the imagination could such performances be tolerated except by people of no discrimination. If this is permitted to go unchallenged, swing renditions of the Mass in B Minor will follow...
Cured by Quimby, Mrs. Patterson absorbed his ideas, wrote of them in letters and public prints, composed a poem upon his death in 1866. According to all her biographers except the official one (Sibyl Wilbur), she attempted in later years to laugh off a very great debt to Quimby. His followers, however, have never minded.

The angry Governor did not help matters by declaring that every daily paper in the State was a liar except the Willmar (Kandiyohi County) Tribune (circulation: 4,562). Ordinary newshawks took this as a slur at their bosses rather than themselves, gratefully remembered that friendly Elmer Benson as a U. S. Senator...
Drawing and painting were added to the time-honored forms of occupational therapy (basket-weaving, metal work, etc.) at Bellevue in the spring of 1935. The Federal Art Project furnished artist-instructors to hold four or five classes a week for all children and adults, except surgical patients, in the psychiatric division. For Bellevue psychiatrists this meant precisely what a new and rangier telescope would mean to an observatory. Day by day they could study in sequence the attempts at expression by mentally sick people. Though the art of individual schizophrenics, among them Dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, has been analyzed...
