...head of a baby in a nearby yard and Craig went back inside his rooms, slammed the door and waited for the inevitable squad car. When the cops arrived he answered their yell of "Open up!" by firing three shots through the door. That started the biggest and noisiest gun battle in recent Chicago history...

Frankie had gone far, in a curious way. He was boss of one of the noisiest and most pertinacious minority parties in U.S. history, which now, generally discredited, was fighting for its life. Lawyers for the defense argued that fundamental rights of U.S. citizens, such as the right of free political thought, were at stake in the case. The legal battle would certainly go to the Supreme Court. Secretary Dennis was the cynosure among the other ten Communists on trial with him. He was surrounded by an aura of mystery. According to the party's carefully manufactured legend...

The noisiest battles had been set off by the I.W.W. in its invasions of the woods and sawmills.

...will blow their tops. The mud flats of Soldiers Field will tremble under the poundings and stampings of the huge audience, and the greans and yips will travel downstream on the Charles. The gentleman who yesterday called the Harvard-Yale game stuff for kids will overnight turn into the noisiest and naughiest kids in the territory. After the game the breath of liquor will hang over the Square like a smog; blond hair and strapless backs will glitter through the night; and Cambridge, seat of culture, will be undistinguishable from any city where the American Legion is raising hell...
