...Lewis' United Mine Workers and the Progressive Miners of America, a revolting group which has since been welcomed into A. F. of L. The bullets have ceased singing but in the courts the struggle continues. Nearly two score Progressives were convicted in a Federal court in Springfield, Ill. of conspiracy to interfere with the mails and interstate commerce by dynamiting trains (TIME, Dec. 27). Last week another case originating on that dark and bloody ground was decided in East St. Louis, Ill. by Federal District Judge Fred L. Wham. In a damage suit brought against the Progressive Miners...
...trial judge set it aside. Last week the Appellate Court upheld the trial judge. Reason: According to De Paul, ten years ago John B. Fuller was Rev. Bernard J. Fuhler, Austrian-born priest of the Society of the Divine Word, who taught at St. Mary's College (Techny, Ill.), was sent to the University of Chicago for his Ph.D., then departed for Europe on leave of absence after quietly marrying one Arline Kuber in Buffalo.

...ill-starred venture in progressive education was University of Wisconsin's Experimental College, which flared and flickered between 1927 and 1932 under famed Educator Alexander Meiklejohn.

Changes of this kind are ill-fated by ancient superstition, but few have met such a fate as Frank Lloyd Wright's. In 1913, just after he had finished his most light-hearted job, a "goodtime place," as Wright called it, the Midway Gardens in Chicago, a telephone call from Spring Green smote him with...
...everybody and everything to Metternich. Because she did so with a mixture of malice, snobbishness, impatience, heartlessness and occasional humdrum housewifely humor, her private letters make a lively book, packed with characterizations that, a novelist could envy. Thus she describes the conversation of her diplomatic rival, the clumsy, ill-favored wife of the Austrian Ambassador: "Do you know the kind of woman who always wants to be the centre of social interest? She is afraid of mice, she loves cats, she tumbles down, she burns herself, she upsets her tea on her dress-all this happened in her house...
