Noisiest New Deal supporter in Manhattan is the Post (circulation: 121,000), published by that ardent lover of Roosevelt and hater of Hearst, Julius David Stern. On a typical day last week the Post included a front-page editorial shouting that "The bosses of Landon . . . know Landon's whole attempt to fool the American masses is a flop"; a headline, PRO-HITLER STAFF AT HEADQUARTERS OF REPUBLICANS; a column by the New Deal's best syndicated friend, Jay Franklin, predicting a Roosevelt landslide; a cartoon depicting Alf Landon being blindfolded by Samuel Insull...

For that matter the late, great "Lawrence of Arabia" who died in a motoring accident (TIME. May 27), was also a woman-hater, was also annoyed by women cyclists, and also used to tear over the roads. Five months ago Mortimer started suiting action to his words. In succession he stole several cars, all of which he used briefly in the same way.
