...predictions of majorities. But he yields to no man as a writer of propaganda. In a bulletin which he composed last week he pictured Nominee Hoover as virtually the sole author of Coolidge Prosperity and the latter as a "world wonder." Money is what counts in an election but fine phrases help and James William Good knows it. It is very much like being an apostolic missionary. Sometimes you have to wrestle for a man's political soul for hours and hours. Sometimes you can win him in a trice with a ponderous period. And tiresome though...
Briand's Thrusts. Never before has Peace Apostle Aristide Briand addressed the League in such militant, 100% French fashion as last week. Usually he exhales the grand hymn of International Concord.

To think that of all the universities invited to debate with Porto Ricans in their own language, only one had the "gumption" to accept. That was New York University...
...Mayor Walker, who calls her "Ruth" and "so charming" when she asks him pertinent questions. She considers him amusing, yes, but a feather-and-glue obstruction to the serious party reforms she thinks Manhattan needs. Her boys go to Groton and Harvard. Her husband's father founded Pratt (Fine & Applied Arts) Institute in Brooklyn after helping to found Standard Oil. Her husband was the Pratt who jotted the memorandum which revealed "Andy" Mellon (Secretary of the Treasury Andrew William Mellon) as one of those who were invited by Will Hays to take over some of the Liberty Bonds which...
