...TIME will continue to use as cover-frontis-pieces those very clever and vigorous portrait sketches by the man whose name I cannot decipher. I have started a scrapbook, containing these drawings and their corresponding articles, and hope to make up a group of such double character-sketches.

He advocates a sort of select school for young Fascisti, with the curriculum based on "science, politics and the art of government."
