Vigorously tossing his grey mane in the face of a microphone, John Llewellyn Lewis last week on the eve of Labor Day week-end delivered a message to the Union on the State of Labor. For all U. S. Labor the preceding twelve months had been-by moderate estimate-the most significant in history. Both in power and numbers the U. S. Labor movement reached an all-time peak. In its Wagner Act decisions the Supreme Court had substantially upheld the labor laws of the New Deal. Springing full-grown from the forehead...
President in 1936, stared at an AP dispatch which carried no logotype. Colonel Knox's face, normally ruddy and smiling, became ruddy and grim. He strode into his office, whose walnut panels once adorned the private library of late News Publisher Victor Lawson. Popping down before his little typewriter beside his great desk, Publisher Knox jangled the keys. In rare rough rider style he rattled off an editorial ripping into AP-the great press association of which Publisher Victor Lawson was founder, of which Melville Stone (founder of the News) was long general manager.

...news coverage of the hostilities a hundredfold. For instance: on the afternoon of Aug. 14, three Chinese bombers flew over Shanghai's Bund, accidentally or intentionally slipped two bombs out of their bomb-racks and blew in the fronts of both the Cathay and Palace Hotels, which face each other across teeming Nanking Road.

Then he gesticulated, brought his face nearer to his interlocutor and spat slightly as he became emphatic. Finally he would wipe himself up so to speak and become suddenly immobile again, with his face interrogative and a little askew." . . .

...saloon in Lakehurst, N. J. appeared John Henry Titus, 91, with a kerosene-soaked rag in his shoe to ward off mosquitoes. He sank to one knee, and, with gestures, once more recited his famous poem, The Face on the Barroom Floor. Poet Titus said he now makes his living picking huckleberries. He wrote his famed poem in 1872 as the fifth episode of a seven-canto poem: The Ideal Soul. The scene was taken from a tavern in Jefferson, Ohio. There are now more than 1,000 versions that have sprung up anonymously...
