Chicago's art lovers had worked on Chicago's Italian-Americans, who worked on grey-mustached Prince Ascanio Colonna, Italian Ambassador to the U. S., who worked on his Government...

The theory is chiefly that American farmers made their profits, while they made them, from the increase in land values rather than from farming itself, but White deals with the culture and ideals of the West as much as with economic theory...
