...time it was a William Osler, learned, sympathetic bedside physician. At another time it was an austere, didactic experimenter like Simon Flexner. Now it is worldly, alert Dr. Morris Fishbein who writes 15,000 words a week, makes 130 speeches a year, edits the A. M. A. Journal and Hygeia, manages nine A. M. A. special journals, is publishing a book Syphilis next month, is finishing Diet & Health and Curiosities of Medicine for publication this autumn. He syndicates a health column to 700 newspapers...
During the 52 years George Bannerman Dealey has worked for and run the Dallas News (a.m.) and Journal (p.m..), those newspapers have taken more than one unpopular but righteous stand. They were against the Ku Klux Klan during its heyday in Texas in the early 19205. They bucked demagogic Governor "Jim" Ferguson.

For two years he was secretary to Senator Dixon of Rhode Island. For eleven more he was the New York Tribune's assistant music critic, working with Krehbiel. When Henderson left the Times in 1902 he proposed Aldrich as his successor. Until 1924, when failing health made Aldrich write more sparingly, his articles, as oracular as Henderson's, proved the wisdom of the choice...
This year's Bawl Street Journal, annual Manhattan Bond Club parody of the marmoreal Wall Street Journal, tried hard last week to keep its cracks aimed below Canal Street. But its 14,000 Wall Street-wise chuckled most over an advertisement which read: "DEAL WITH US: No Restrictions, No Holds Barred, No Legal Opinions, No Balance Sheet, No Income Account: U. S.
