...Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution in their own economic interest. Newspapers screamed that Beard was a "hyena." Ex-President Taft (whom Beard calls his heaviest critic-"by tonnage") damned it in a special speech. High schools banned the book; public libraries put it on the restricted shelf. Nicholas Murray Butler sputtered that his derelict professor of politics was aping "the crude, immoral and unhistorical teaching of Karl Marx." Charles Beard urged them to read Federal Paper No. 10, by Founding Father James Madison...
Brigadier General Maxwell Murray, commander of the Washington Provisional Brigade, ascended to the dome of the Capitol one day last week and trained a pair of high-powered binoculars down on Pennsylvania Avenue. Lining the street on both sides, all the way to the White House, was a solid wall of U. S. soldiers and marines. Behind the walls massed the Washington populace, patrolled by 751 policemen, 400 firemen. Overhead roared nine flying fortresses, 42 Army pursuit ships. Drawn up from the Capitol to Union Station were more soldiers, and filling the station plaza were cavalry, 30 tanks, a battery...
Heard the new Casa Loma (Decca) album and it was well worth it. With the exception of Murray McEachern, trombone-sax man recently acquired from Benny Goodman, the band doesn't play much swing.

...chaos which a series of disorganized and pedestrian lectures leaves him. I can speak only with authority as to my own experience in the English Department in the years 1933-37. It was significant that in the well-taught courses--for example, those of Professors Kittredge, Greenough, and Murray--virtually no student had any need or desire for tutoring. It was rather in such courses where a tremendous reading list was supplemented not with exposition or enlightenment on the subject matter, but with a series of the disorganized personal ideas of the individual lecturer that the average student found himself...
When C. I. O.'s Philip Murray, Sidney Hillman and two score sub-lieutenants went to Cleveland last fortnight to minister to the feud-fuddled United Automobile Workers of America, they hoped to apply not a cure but a poultice. To that end they had the delegates elect conservative, cooperative Roland Jay Thomas to the presidency and abolish the jobs of four quarrelsome vice presidents (TIME, April 10). Last week, to the dismay of Physicians Murray & Hillman, the delegates in winding up their convention wound the poultice into a knot...
