...agency's function of lending money to foundering businesses had been assumed by other federal agencies. The Democrats' program issues a clear challenge to the President: "The nation at this juncture could ill afford a passive Congress that did no more than await and then react in leisurely, piecemeal fashion to Executive recommendations...
...about, says Harpsichordist Igor Kipnis, "for all the wrong reasons." One of the most wrong was the notion that the Baroque was a perfect antidote for the excesses of 19th century romanticism. Performers played the reborn works of the 17th and early 18th centuries in an unemotional, almost mechanical fashion.

But since a lot of the hyperbole focuses on just those aspects of Lippmann's writing that were most questionable, and that exemplified some of the major failings of the newspapers doing the praising, Lippmann's career and these journalists' account of it deserve a closer look...
