...years we have listened to the prattle of the economists that recovery movements manifest first in the lighter consumer industries and then in the heavier industries. If the present hint given in the market may be relied on, the world is wagging on in much the same old orthodox economic fashion despite new deal experimentation with recovery serums and social antitoxins...
...expelled from the republic when a Protestant mission school was closed (Instituto del Pueblo, Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Feb. 15, 1926), I feel that TIME errs in that it does not state that there is a parallel between the present trouble in Mexico and that of the Orthodox Church and the Soviet Government some years ago.

...room in Manhattan's Hotel Pennsylvania one night last fortnight met 200 of the city's Orthodox Jewish rabbis. For ten hours these bearded men of God prayed and pondered.

Praying for strength to carry out the issur, the rabbis hoarsely chanted: "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty. He judgeth among the gods...
Last week 300 rabbis and 800 Orthodox Jews crammed New York's oldest synagog, little Beth Hamidrash Hagodol on the East Side. The issur, which the rabbis had voted to "declare, pronounce, issue and publish," was read aloud by venerable Rabbi Israel Dusovitz. Beshawled and wearing phylacteries* strapped to his forehead, the rabbi parted a pair of curtains to reveal the Ark of the Covenant and the Scrolls of the Law which are shown to Jews only on the most solemn occasions. Holding aloft the issur, he invoked the blessing of God, exclaimed: "The issur is now in force...
