Vice President Dawes was master of ceremonies. Senate Pages Milburn McCarty Jr. of Eastland, Tex., and John Gordon Logan, carried the two shiny mahogany boxes in which reposed the solemn electoral certificates. Page McCarty is a squint-eyed little boy with a round face, a slight lisp, freckles, a cowlick, and good teeth for apple-biting. He served the Brown Derby during the campaign as personal messenger. He wept honestly when Nominee Hoover was elected. Alert, respectful, he is the Senate's favorite page. Page Logan is Senator Smoot's grandson...

That article brought him several thousand dollars. The money was useful, for the Einsteins are, like most scientific families, comparatively poor. Not much income ensues from his professorship at the Academy of Sciences or from his directorship at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics. Yet the Einsteins, if they were really in need, might look with confidence to their very rich relatives, the Kochs and Dreyfuses of Germany and France. They...
Round 20. In this round several thousand words were hurled. Mr. Aldrich mailed to stockholders a 69-page pamphlet summing up Mr. Rockefeller Jr.'s objections to Col. Stewart and reviewing in great detail the Stewart conduct for the past seven years. Col. Stewart immediately flayed the Aldrich pamphlet as "a cunningly drawn document . . . nothing less than cowardly and dastardly libel...
