...unusual, consideration for Barnard's brainy booster is shown in Lindley's discussion of the Hull-Moley controversy. Apparently Moley tried to be tactful in London but Hull's suspicions and force of circumstances would not let him.

McNitt's experience behind them both. "Chiselers In Action" shouted a red headband and in the cover cartoon a rotund Andrew Mellon wearing J. P. Morgan's watch-chain chopped a hole in the side of the dory S. S. Recovery, apparently preferring the Rugged Individualism life preserver around his neck to the NRA sail bellying nobly from the mast...
