...Bolles believes that the Harvard crew is "better than last year" and has a fair chance to win; the confident seconds, paying their own way, will also make a bid for victory...
Longheaded, high-domed Wallace Kirkman Harrison and affable mustached J. (for Jacques) André Fouilhoux were among the architects who planned Rockefeller Center. They share a predilection for economy in architectural form. In evolving their Theme Centre for the Fair they made more than 1,000 sketches before they hit on the ultimate starkness of sphere and pyramidal form. Neither had ever been built before; both would certainly influence other World's Fair architecture to avoid superfluous dressing. And though neither the Sphere nor the symmetrical Trylon alone could serve as a direction-pointing landmark to guide wanderers...
Others besides Gardner Withrow had suggested prying into the dealer business. Year ago the National Automobile Dealers Association, to which belong 10,000 of the 45,000 U.

What he had to say was the most vigorous tongue-lashing the automotive industry has had from a Congressman...
...Altgeld the essential factor about the Haymarket case was that the anarchists had not had a fair trial. Jurors had frankly admitted prejudice, and the record showed appalling contradictions. But when Altgeld said so in an 18,000-word pardon he was damned as a murderer, a communist, a demagogue, a foreigner, an anarchist, a thief, a liar, a madman, a knave, a fool, a bomb-thrower, a Nero and a coward...
