...this great day of sophistication, none but a zany would say, "I know it's right because I read it in the newspapers!" The journalist's addiction to bloomers in spelling, grammar and fact have cost him not a little prestige. But radio is a new estate, and hence marvelous, and hence infallible. Moreover, its technicians are masters of such a mystery that it seems, to what Editor Arthur Brisbane calls the public's "tired brain or lack of brain," that they must surely be past masters at such child's play as correct speech...
...Shillito is religion's outstanding British journalist, the U. S. Christian Century's English correspondent, a regular contributor to the London Times. None knew better than he how busy the "international road," the press, is kept by the pagan deities in question.

Indeed, so deep was his feeling that after the first few words he choked with emotion, and with tears flowing freely down his" cheeks he merely clasped my hands and murmured:'O Roma!Roma...
This midsummer rally, now history, came unexpectedly. It was a speculators' market led, according to astute Financial Journalist Bertie Charles Forbes, by William Crapo Durant and Jesse L. Livermore. Because the market was under this speculative influence, there has been doubt as to the extent to which it has reflected the business condition of the country. In general, the U. S. is in excellent condition. Many industries are at the most prosperous tide of their histories. A few are at the turn of their...
