Tall, handsome, dandyish David Graham Phillips was a man of mark in the days of four-inch collars and wicked "Interests." Even then his collars were higher, his crusading zeal hotter than most. Many a reader remembers well the fuss & fury roused by his expose of Senators DePew, Aldrich, Knox, Foraker, Platt et al. in a Cosmopolitan magazine series called "The Treason of the Senate." President Roosevelt, irked by this intrusion on what he considered his private hunting ground, first used his pet word "muckraker" in veiled denunciation of the author...

Steel Corp. announced that with a heliostat and focusing mirror he had been able to capture 3,000° of the sun's heat (TIME, Dec. 21). With gas, temperatures as high as 4,600° have been obtained, but they could...
...battle waxed hotter the spectators on shore suddenly realized that this was not just a glorified spectacle for their amusement. Bullets whined in their direction. They stampeded, baby carriages and all. For just such an emergency the Government had two special trains waiting at the station, but it was not enough. Most of Coquimbo's citizenry took to the mountains, on foot...
