...President's message to Congress, although it contained a few pregnant sentences calculated to sound the radical horn, did not answer the basic radical question of public ownership Much of the radical criticism of President Roosevelt, from the beginning of his administration, has been directed at his refusal to answer this question.

Its enormously developed fangs...
...skirted scarlet coat and beaver hat, the perennial herald of the National Horse Show, Ringmaster Dutch White, blew "Pop Goes the Weasel" with many a false squawk on his coaching horn and another Manhattan social season commenced last week. It was more than a New York occasion. Dutch White's tootling this year opened a Golden Jubilee. Horses from Ireland, Canada, Sweden, Kansas and Czechoslovakia, riders from five nations (attracted also by last month's Chicago Fair horse show-TIME, Nov. 6) were at Madison Square Garden to participate...
