...past fortnight, New Yorkers have been having their first look at daylong television. Beginning at 7 a.m. Du Mont's WABD flickers along all day until the regular evening program starts. The programs are strongly reminiscent of daytime radio: setting-up exercises, Broadway gossip, popular music, women's news-everything except soap opera...

...Teach You. Several publishers of bloods made fortunes on which they built more respectable empires. Young Alfred Harmsworth (later Lord Northcliffe) founded the Daily Mail and bought the Times itself with the help of his bloody pennies.

...usual outlets of public opinion--newspaper columns, speeches, meetings, petitions, and floods of letters to the authorities. The pros and cons were divided into what Dos Passes called "Two Nations," and Professor Joughin uses this phrase as a title. It is interesting to note that the popular antipathy to Sacco and Vanzetti decreased roughly in proportion to the increase in distance from New England. In New York and Paris thousands of sympathizers rioted in the streets, but in Boston the fear of radicalism and the belief that Massachusetts justice was being hamstrung by "foreign" propaganda, caused a large majority...
