...certain reasonableness underlay the Rumor. Between President Hoover and Justice Stone exists a thoroughgoing friendship. Justice Stone was in the Hoover family circle the night its head was nominated at Kansas City. He fished with the President-Elect Hoover off Florida, and there suggested the name of William DeWitt Mitchell for Attorney-General. He dropped in for a friendly morning chat the day Mr. Hoover became President. He was among the first asked to join the medicine-ball exercise at 7 a. m. back of the White House...

By ordinary standards, their story is howling melodrama, but in a setting of cosmic proportions it fades to the decent outlines of engrossing human narrative.

He knew that Mr. McLean publishes the Washington Post and the Cincinnati Enquirer; that he was a bosom friend of President Harding; that he had "gone down the line" for Albert Bacon Fall, during the oil scandals; that his wife owns but rarely wears the Hope Diamond...
...left its ranks. Mr. Lamont, asked by the press, said that he had resigned "sometime within the last six months." Later he said that a friend had once asked him to join the Association and through that friend he had forwarded his resignation. "We all do some things for friendship," he explained. Mr. Lamont's friends in Chicago were amused. Said Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition, and Public Morals: "We Methodists believe in repentance." Said F. Scott McBride: "We always welcome converts." ¶ In Philadelphia detectives arrested two Negro youths for wearing...
