Betimes he has ghostwritten a biography of the late Tex Rickard, recently adapted Escape for the screen, is now under commitment to write the screen play for The Flying Yorkshireman. When he discusses radio, he is fond of such pronunciamentos as: "The very first premise for writing good radio should be actually having something to say that hasn't been said before quite in the manner in which you say it."

Of late these ghoulish temptresses have appeared on Publisher Patterson's editorial page with almost comic-strip frequency-graphically timed to make...
...some people suggest that under the terms of H.R. 1776, Mr. Roosevelt might give away part or all of the Navy. How could could anybody be so dumb, says Mr. Roosevelt. Don't people know he is fond of the Navy? Then why would he give it away? Why, he would just as soon stand on his head...
