...tangled affairs. Sculptor Jo Davidson brought Journalist Hutchins Hapgood, who brought Lincoln Steffens, who brought some young college graduates: John Reed, Walter Lippmann, Robert Edmond Jones, Lee Simonson.

England's Black Country, faced with "the great calamity of peace"; Paris of the Peace Conference; Italy, with new ruins to add to its old; the meeting of the Second International at Berne; devastated Serbia, machine-gun fire in starving Vienna, Budapest under Bela Kun's Communist regime-all these she saw and reported. The one meeting she refused was an interview with Queen Marie of Rumania. Once more in the U. S., her active indignation sent her into...
