...displayed for them a 94-page supplement called The Promise of American Life. Present were amiable Robert Morss Lovett, Government-Secretary of the Virgin Islands, a New Republic editor for 18 years; Freda Kirchwey, editor of The Nation, the rival (74-year-old) liberal intellectual journal that looked exactly like the New Republic to outsiders, very different to liberal intellectuals. Present also were contributors, constant readers, free traders, isolationists, progressive educators, single taxers, practicing Marxists, disillusioned Marxists, poets, professors, publishers, all who believe themselves to be liberals, all who thus claim to fit into a category that nobody has satisfactorily...

With Denmark helplessly at the mercy of Germany, Finland desperate, and the cave-digging Swedes still uncommitted to a scrap for Scandinavia, Norway delivered what looked like a spunky slap at the glowering Russian Bear by baldly reversing the Russian view of the City of Flint case and turning the ship back to its U.
