...figure in a national way. With Charles F. Murphy (Tammany), and Roger Sullivan (Illinois), Tom Taggart in 1912 manoeuvred so as to control apparently the balance of power in the famed Baltimore Convention, to the academic Mr. Wilson's distaste. Indicted in 1915 for election frauds, he nevertheless was appointed Senator by Governor Ralston the next year to fill the unexpired term of Senator Shively. Again in 1924 politicians journeyed to French Lick Springs for a "chat" with old Tom, who was then endeavoring to secure for the late Senator Ralston the Democratic presidential nomination...

She thinks Americans are "perfectly adorable," especially U.S. college girls, even if they do smoke more than Australians and use "ever so much more" makeup. Nevertheless, she was obliged to say no, certainly not; she had not the faintest idea of entering the Atlantic City "struggle" (as the reporters called it) or any other...

Nevertheless, Dr. Shillito pressed his point. "What is needed," he said, "is not propaganda for peace so much as a reasonable and continuous interpretation of the nations to each other. They ought to know the best in each other-not the worst...
...Nevertheless, I was always con scious and I saw the queer, deep, dark blue of a cloudless and mistless sky; a far deeper blue than that seen from the earth's sur face. . . . I could feel the tightening of the contracting metal parts of the plane." (Contraction was due to intense cold). When his barograph registered 12,800 metres, Pilot Callizo descended, hovering at 500 metres, to collect his shocked faculties. After inspection of his instruments, officials credited him with having flown higher than any man- 12,422 metres (40,820 ft., nearly 8 mi., two-fifths...
