...Hyde Park occurred a clash between British Fascisti and Communists, involving some 2,000 persons, resulting in scores of more or less seriously damaged people and the wreckage of several private automobiles. The trouble started when the Fascisti, seeing a red flag, lost control of themselves and seized the insulting emblem, tearing it to pieces. They said they were pledged to tear down every red flag hoisted in London. The Evening News, antiCommunist, nevertheless scored the Fascisti, who are far from popular in London. Seeing a grave menace to the freedom of speech, the newspapers said...
...kinds of cranks as well as good people go there [to Hyde Park] to say what they have to say. Cranks form, indeed, one of London's most popular free entertainment. If you do not wish to hear the bray of Communists you may walk away and listen to the more musical and equally profound bleating of the sheep in the park.

Hyde to James Hazen Hyde to Thomas F. Ryan to the elder J. P. Morgan and finally to T. Coleman du Pont. Mr. Ryan placed stock in the hands of trustees for the benefit of the policyholders, and subsequent owners followed his example...
Ragged Pecksniffs and old women; gentlemen out for a constitutional; bright-cheeked British children who had run away from their Nannas, paused to stare and listen, moved along, were replaced by others. So all day, in Hyde Park, people came and went, but the voice of Somerville Hague, sculptor, went on forever. Ensconced before Jacob Epstein's Memorial for W. H. Hudson* (TIME, June 1), fortified with a box of assorted sandwiches and mobled in a large ulster, he stated that he did not like Sculptor Epstein's conception of Rima, the wood nymph. "Look...
