...decorous 1840's when the sparkling Mr. Atkinson was compelling the hot-house plants of London's selectest society to swoon on sofas every evening and releasing for literature the troubled unconscious of Harriet Martinean, the myth was current that Hypnosis called for a handsome, muscular Personality with electric eyes; a veritable storage battery of animal magnetism. After the Radio experiments of the other night in Boston, Personality dwindles to condensite. If the talking machine companies should see the point, the gentle art of falling asleep might drive out morphine and gin as a method for dodging the World crisis...

...apron, poising his sledge for a blow. They saw a strong-armed Nordic guiding an electric drill, and a cool Nordic in overalls _ and gauntlets, riding midair on a girder -perhaps a bone in the steel skeleton of the new Book Building, "world's highest." They saw the muscular, furious, aging Christ striding over the world more like a scourge than a savior-the figure of Christ that had caused so much ferment in Sculptor Kalish's native Cleveland. As everywhere, there were plenty of people to quarrel with the artist's anatomical exaggerations and inaccuracies...
