...required five and a half hours to run if it ever had been shot. It never was. They made another. Then Selznick made another. In the next year Jo Swerling, Oliver H. P. Garrett, Ben Hecht, John Van Druten, Michael Foster, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Winston Miller, John Balderston, Edwin Justus Mayer all had at least a little finger in the scenario. But next to Sidney Howard's work, the bulk of the scripting, as David Selznick admits, was done by David Selznick. He is still very touchy because a shooting script was not ready even by the time that...
Career: If the U. S. were England, Richard Mifflin Kleberg would never have had to do any political campaigning. He would have grown up to inherit a seat in the House of Lords.

More conservative than Gimbel's, second only to Wanamaker's in total sales, Strawbridge & Clothier prides itself on a long list of innovations. It sent out the first typewritten...
...governorship nominations. Many were the candidates. On the Republican side, Acting Governor Merriam, Lawyer Raymond LeRoy Haight and former Governor Clement Calhoun Young were among those asking voters to listen to their eloquence. On the Democratic side George Creel, Wartime Chief of Propaganda, backed by William Gibbs McAdoo; Justus Wardell, oldtime politician, and a handful of others all called to Californians to heed them. But the man whom Californians heeded?favorably and unfavorably?had no machine backing, was no politician and broke all the rules of politics. He was journalist, pamphleteer, reformer, and his name was Upton Sinclair...
