For although he assumes the unfortunate manner, in such cases, of one imparting state secrets, his original intent encompassed far more than a superficial reduction of Messrs.

Many a gold hoarder grumbled bitterly last week, demanding why he should be threatened with ten years in jail for having bought gold whereas if he had bought a gold mine the President would have...
...plane. Italo's hero was suddenly, drastically demoted, attached ob- scurely to the embassy in Buenos Aires. There he played polo and hunted. He kept his peace with good grace until this year-the year of Balbo's triumphal armada flight-he appeared in New York intent to the point of desperation on flying farther than any man had flown, all alone...
