...Louisiana State University stadium (built by Huey Long) rode smiling Citizen Jones. Solemn-faced, he put his hand on a Bible opened to Exodus, pointed a finger at the Commandment which says, "Thou Shalt not Steal," raised his other hand and took the oath as Governor of Louisiana. At that, 50,000 people applauded, fell upon 1.000 barbecued beeves, 130,000 foot-long sandwiches, downed gallons of lemonade...

The text has dignity and is compactly informative. Many of the captions are direct quotations...
...younger teachers not yet up for permanent appointment. This would be true, indeed, even if the percentage of associate professors staying on at the University remained unchanged. For an increase in the number of permanent appointees in the younger ages could in no event decrease the rate of exodus or advancement. The rate remaining the same, the number of new permanent places on the contrary would somewhat increase...
