...split into two periods. This device has been employed by Democratic state administrations in the past, but Harriman read into it a diabolical scheme this year to confuse the voters and keep registration down. Roared Irving Ives: "These Tammany-picked candidates, to hide their ignorance of state affairs, have fallen back on the last resource of sordid politics . . . This year they are so desperate and contemptible that they have sunk to the level of trying to stir up people to hate other people because we are respecting the holiest days of the religion of many of our people...

The radioactive rain, the strongest that has ever fallen on Japan, did not arrive until Sept. 18. The Japanese are not sure why it took so long to travel. They suspect that there may have been a third explosion that did not register otherwise...
...Conversation in this country has fallen upon evil days . . . It is drowned out in singing commercials by the world's most productive economy that has so little to say for itself it has to hum it. It is hushed and shushed in dimly lighted parlors by television audiences who used to read, argue, and even play bridge, an old-fashioned card game requiring speech. It is shouted down by devil's advocates, thrown into disorder by points of order . . . subdued by soft-voiced censors."
