...This was not due merely to pineapples and racketeers. True, there were four bombings as the election approached, but they did not cause much damage and nobody bothered about them. They did not count. In Chicago an election means fun, excitement. Calliopes in the crowded Loop, red-fire in Grant Park, an almost continuous uproar in the Black Belt; 1,000 stump orators stumping, spouting, shouting on sidewalks, in public halls, in theatres, in real theatres where they have real plays. It is amazing that nobody has ever become excited about the sidewalks of Chicago, which last week were certainly...
Full Measure. Reasons omitted, the Hoover victory loomed as one to which Republicans would be able to point with effective pride for several political generations. Against the most formidable Democrat since Wilson, Hoover had won the most overwhelming majority since Grant smothered Tammany's Seymour (1868). It was the greatest electoral majority ever-444 to 87.

On two runs around end Gilligan covered forty yards and then threw a pass to F. S. Grant '29 for 20 more. From this point he circled the left wing for the touchdown and kicked in the final point...
Brisk and businesslike was the young advertising agent who followed it, some 55 years ago, into the sanctum of Harper's Monthly. Aghast and horrified were the editors who heard his proposal. Flank their belles lettres with a tradesperson's solicitation? As well charge Helmsman Ulysses S. Grant with bottomry. The public would recoil in equal alarm. Young Thompson insisted that back-page advertisements were dignified, profitable. He prevailed...
