...laymen were no less angry at the aging North Carolina Methodist who as Secretary of the Navy used to boss Franklin D. Roosevelt around. Cause of the Catholic outburst against Ambassador Daniels was a speech he made in Mexico City last July when he quoted a few ''Jeffersonian'' lines on education from an earlier address by Boss Plutarco Elias Calles (TIME...
...fairest as well as the most deadly journalistic critic of the Administration. He has no ax to grind, never hits below the belt. He does not like government regulation; his heart is with the small taxpayer and the Maryland Free State. In short, he is a sound Jeffersonian of pre-Civil War vintage.

Senator Hull's world views: "The mad pursuit of economic...

He reports that there have been fewer biographies of Adams "than of almost any great American." Disregarding James Truslow Adams' The Adams Family (TIME, June 16, 1930), of which he made no mention in his bibliography, he says his is the first biography of John Quincy Adams in 50 years...
