...with work to do. An enormous wall mirror reflected the drawn tired lines in his face as he hunched over a stack of bills laid before him. William McKinley (in bronze) glowered out of a corner. Down through the heavy tracery of a chandelier "The Eye of God'' painted on the ceiling was fixed upon the grey Hoover head as it bent to its task. Around the mosaic floor stood Senators, Representatives, Cabinet members, military aides, clerks and bodyguards silently watching the 31st President perform his final duty, wind...
Pittsburghers used to know their Mayor Charles Howard Kline as a "good fellow" who liked the public eye and hid a tendency toward plumpness with snappy, well-tailored suits.

Taking more than one leaf from the same notebook which Authors Dos Passos and Alfred Doblin used, which Maestro James Joyce used before them, Halper has neatly stitched together a story contemporary, kaleidoscopically eye-witnessing as a newsreel, but more dramatically edited than most cinema. Union Square's action is more continuous but less comprehensive than Dos Passos' more ambitious book. With a half-dozen main characters, a score of walk-on parts, the story gives an animated, life-like cross-section of teeming Manhattan...
