...well-organized job hunt among companies of the sort the applicant wants to work for and where no overture has been made by the employer still constitutes the foundation of all employment. Here is employment denuded of all personal ties and placed on a purely business basis. The applicant determines the market for his services within a fairly narrow scope and sells to that market by sustained and systematic effort until he gets his job. This channel of approach should form the back log of any Senior's campaign to establish himself in the business world...
...statue was completed, set up temporarily in Paris. France's gift was the statue itself. The base, a mass of almost solid granite designed by famed Architect Richard Morris Hunt, was to be provided by the U. S. In the winter of 1884-85 the base was less than half built and funds were completely exhausted. To the rescue came exuberant Publisher Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World.

In 1808 he married a pretty, well-born English girl, soon after failed...
...gone to pieces over the strewing of anatomical members hither and yon in Boston harbor. Probably since the case of Sacco and Vanzetti, or at least since Jessic Costello cleaned her boiler, Boston has never had such a good time in its traditional macabre manner. But the current scavenger hunt for the missing "mutilated torso" has them all beat for journalistic interest. It is certain that if Charles Dickens were living today his words would be, "Oops, there goes Mrs. Asquith's head again!" The different angles from which the affair is viewed show an interesting cross-section. The church...
