Coming from the man who had, figuratively speaking, told Der Fuehrer he could go due south, the press seized on the last paragraph as "an attack on Hitler," or "a veiled thrust at Nazi Germany," and having had its little splurge abruptly dropped Dr. Bruening in favor of a four alarm fire in East Somerville and the current war on sex crimes...
...wages 62? a day in Manila, 25? in the provinces. Political observers familiar with Filipino political tactics construed this as a classic example of Quezon's political guile.

Its hefty size, he-man articles, sexy cartoons and drawings of flashy men's fashions immediately found it a public favor never achieved by less flamboyant aspirants such as Vanity Fair. Despite its 50? price, Esquire boomed at once, last February reached a peak circulation of 610,000. For the fiscal year ended March 1937 it had a gross advertising revenue of $2,770,000, circulation revenue...
