Prometheans, like his Titans of Literature published last year, is an enthusiastic notebook proclaiming the virtues of some of his favorites. St. Mark serves gusty Author Rascoe as a peg on which to hang his theory, already secondhand, that the real Jesus was a political zealot named Simon Bar Gi'ora, that the four Gospels were really an allegory of an unsuccessful Jewish revolt against Rome.

...pool (President Peter B. Carey of the Board of Trade admitted a pool had been discussed) to buy up "distress grain" which threatened the market-the holdings of speculators caught in the July break. Others attributed the fall to the price peg, its arrest to removal of the peg. For, they argued, with the peg in there had been no free market, realistic grain traders had withdrawn from the market; with the peg removed traders had gone in again. Contributory cause that certainly helped to steady the market was that, as the peg was removed, Secretary Wallace began to talk...
