...fought the Yellow drivers as clansmen and as scabs; soon forgetting their business rivalry, the chauffeurs fought for love of fighting and out of the hatred which is bred in taxicab drivers by the rigors of their profession. They turned at each quickly in their cars, driving them as Hector drove his chariot; they bombed garages and used guns, like gangsters...
...week, in Manhattan, John S. Sumner, head of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, saw a picture in a window which aroused his righteous rage.

S. citizen. Though many have essayed to deal out Menckian blows this season, nothing on the current stage satirizes so incisively, originally, the cruel banalities of "big business, gogetters" as does this play about a man who is stuck for life at the assistant sales-manager level of a greeting card manufactory. At a "Father and Son" luncheon, the Reverend Harold Klump, "he-Christian," sounds the keynote of large-scale...
