Against Big Government. At 53, the counselor decided to haul in his shingle and toss his hat once more into the political ring. Dubbing himself the "young guard," Austin defied his state's Republican machine, won a bitterly contested primary, thus assured his election as U.S. Senator. He went to Washington in 1931 and stayed on, winning two re-elections...
...college (Yale, Williams) architect named J. Cleaveland Cady, who had never seen any of the world's great opera houses, nor so much as a single opera performance, the building is a nearly insuperable drawback. There is no backstage storage space for scenery; to haul a big opera in & out of the warehouse for one performance can cost the Met around $3,000.

Robberies in the Boston area took a noticeable downward trend after January 17 last, when seen men "of medium height and weight," clad in navy pea jackets and wearing grotesque Hallowe'en masks, carried out the largest...
...extended tortuous runways miles underground, forced workers away from the dull, dangerous pits to other work. So archaic and complicated is the system that only 25% of Britain's mine workers directly dig coal, against 70% in the U.S. In the time it takes one British miner to haul five tons of coal to the surface, one Hollander hauls 20 to 25 tons, one American 50 tons...
