Three eminent Democrats held a premature political convention of their own last week in the letters columns of the New York Times, where they were certain of getting a wider audience than they could enjoy at Philadelphia week after next. Naming no slate, they nevertheless drew up an epistolary platform which contained, among other originalities, the declaration that the "national policy followed by this Administration ... is profoundly reactionary." The signatories to these sentiments were Woodrow Wilson's Wartime Secretary of War Newton Diehl Baker, Franklin Roosevelt's first Budget Director Lewis William Douglas and Leo Wolman, who served...
...London screaming red placards reading "WELCOME EMPEROR!" had been pasted on delivery vans by Labor and Liberal newsorgans but, taking their cue from their Government, Conservative London papers did their best to ignore Haile Selassie, tucked news that he was coming into obscure squibs. Nevertheless, 5,000 unofficial welcomers rushed to Waterloo Station. Among them were Chinese, Hindus, Arabs and Negroes, cheek by jowl with English of every class, including pink-cheeked gentlemen in high silk hats and ladies, some of whom waved simultaneously the British and Ethiopian flags as the private Pullman car of Haile Selassie drew...
...patronage was made by James Duval Phelan's father, who came to the U.

He has trebled ($35,000,000 to $100,000,000) the value of the University's plant. He has quadrupled ($25,000,000 to $95,000,000) its endowment. Nevertheless, by the uniformity rather than the magnitude of their growth do Yale College and the Yale graduate schools testify to the spectacular pedagogical husbandry of President Angell...
...cigarets and the two volume brands, Paul Jones (10?) and Marlboro (20?). Marlboro had always done well, was earning dividends for the whole company. But its 500,000,000-per-year sales were about the top for a 2O? brand. In Paul Jones there was little money at 10?. Nevertheless, Paul Jones and other 10? brands had scared the Big Four into deep price-cutting on Camels, Chesterfields, Lucky Strikes and Old Golds, with the result that the profit margin for dealers was down to almost nothing...
