...First Battle of Bull Run. He was followed by George McClellan, who had won the small but impressive victories that enabled West Virginia to break away from the Confederacy and become a separate state. While he did wonders in boosting morale after Bull Run and turning an undisciplined mob into an army, McClellan, only 34 at the time of his appointment, did little to justify the nickname of "young Napoleon." Excessively cautious to begin with, he was reduced to timidity by his primitive version of the CIA, whose intelligence reports pictured small, ill-equipped Southern armies as fearsome hordes...
...largest gold market, were swamped as buy ers throughout Europe demanded gold, gold and more gold. More than 200 tons, or $220 million worth, changed hands on the London gold market in one day to establish a new single-day trading record.

Ten times the usual number of buyers jammed the gold pit in the cellar of the Paris Bourse, and fist fights broke out as the price on one day rose to $44.36 an ounce v. the official price of $35.

At least six students accused of being ringleaders got jail sentences of four to six months. To prevent a spread of violence to factories, the government transported busloads of workers to antiprotest rallies...
...boycott of the paper's advertisers, but with little success. A Hearst strike in San Francisco, supported by Los Angeles pickets, was settled last week. The unions claim that they cannot get management to negotiate. Their picketing has proved ineffectual, even when it was reinforced by occasional mob scenes in front of the Examiner. Non-union people were beaten up, windows smashed. But the police have cleared the area of all but the legal number of pickets. The best the unions can do is photograph every person who leaves the building, for a growing file on strikebreakers. Even...
