...least that's what one would think from the magnetic tug the city of lights has exerted on America's artistic population since the days of Ben Franklin. American Dreamer is the latest entry in the Francophile follies, a respectable representative of the intrigue and romance every lowan associates with the world most beautiful city...
...lowan named Arabella Mansfield became the first woman to be admitted to the bar in this country. No one could accuse her of starting a trend; as recently as 1960, perhaps 3% of the nation's lawyers were female. Then in the 1970s the bars to the bar began to fall.

...does not feel the same about Herbert Hoover, her fellow lowan. "They are trying to put Hoover on a pedestal. He's not on my pedestal," she says. Hoover is still blamed for failing to help the farm economy. The Wood-sides held on-even through 1934 when the weather brutalized the prairies. Ross got no hay, no corn, sold his few cattle to the Government. There was almost nothing-but there was a new President...
