This concern is no political pose with Frank Murphy. Ascetic, perfectionist, he really believes that, instead of becoming a Roman Catholic priest he became a social priest, ordained by his late mother, who taught him to honor Jews and Negroes as highly as other men. In his first mayoral campaign, Detroit called him "Dew and Sunshine" after a speech in which he said that was the kind of new morning Detroit needed. If the so-called Monopoly Investigation imposes upon him the duty of prosecuting any large vested interests, the latter may be sure he will do it with painful...

Said the doctor: "Never has it been so hard...
...professional colleague of Benito Mussolini, now in disgrace in Italy because her family, although old honored and Venetian, is also Jewish. Margherita and Benito met when she was art critic and he editor of the Socialist Avanti in Milan, long before he became famous. Through the comparatively tranquil late '20s and up until 1935, when the Duce made most of his private income by writing for the Hearst newspapers, Madame Sarfatti was his "ghost" and manager. When the Dictator wanted a raise from Hearst, she helped to negotiate it, sometimes by arranging improved treatment for Hearstmen in Italy...
