...Ashikaga's false Kogen in the Northern Court. Like Britain's Wars of the Roses between Yorks & Lancasters for the succession, Japan's War of the Chrysanthemums which lasted 56 years split the Empire. For Shogun Takauji Ashikaga, though he promulgated an admirable list of moral precepts, the Ashikaga Law Code, Japanese text books and histories still reserve the place of ''blackest traitor in the history of the Empire." In 1924 Baron Kumakichi Nakajima, potent ironmonger and merchant with a scholarly flair, attempted to whitewash Traitor Takauji in a magazine article, praising...
Skipping rapidly from social theory to ethics and morals, the executive secretary becomes most profound, "The habit of regarding pictures emotionally must be overcome," he says, "and we must learn to take hold of our task very dispassionately. It is time to stop talking about the morals of the movies,' for morals change and movies change, and the moral viewpoint of yesterday is not the moral viewpoint of today."

While the National Labor Board has nothing more potent than moral suasion and the prestige of President Roosevelt with which to enforce its decisions, United Air Lines announced that Pilot Behncke could go back to work whenever he shows up at Chicago headquarters...
...Fisher's naturalism does not stop before his characters. If the Antelope district, and the people who form its background, are painstakingly revealed, so also is Vridar, and his every moral pimple shines out to us. His lies are duly reported to us; we ever know each time that he lies to his diary. Every windy, youthful vaunt is, we are told, unfulfilled; if Vridar omits the payment of a laundry bill, every detail of the transaction is coldly and unemotionally reported, until the reader wallows in a sea of sordid insignificance. In Mr. Fisher's love scenes the words...
