...Olaf's choristers always sing unaccompanied. Their sense of pitch is so accurate that their director, squat, white-haired Dr. Frederick Melius Christiansen, never even peeps a pitch pipe to give them the key. And their singing has the precision and shading of a crack symphony orchestra. Every year they pack up and pile into a chartered bus for at least one big tour. For St. Olaf, these tours earn substantial sums. The grey stone, $140,000 music building that is the pride of St. Olaf s campus was paid for mostly out of the choir's profits...
Concrete, crushed stone, pipe, real estate and liquor were some of the business sidelines from which leathery old Tom Pendergast drew copious revenue during his long reign as Democratic boss of Kansas City.

In the great Gait House, financiers once fought over the Louisville & Nashville; in the lobby General Buckner, Confederate hero and Chicago real-estate speculator, smoked his corncob pipe and fought the reformers. At the Music Hall, 43-year-old William Goebel, ranked by Leighton as the greatest field general among U. S. political reformers, won the Democratic nomination for Governor after an eight-day fight; at the State House in Frankfort eight months later he was shot...
