...mixture of metaphor is intended to indicate that the Guild's most recent offspring is a problem child who shows an upsetting complexity of behavior. Perhaps because he felt that Miss Claire is in danger of becoming stereotyped, Mr. Behrman has apparently sought to make his work more than the simple amusing bubble it ought to be. Instead of concentrating, as is customary, upon Miss Claire's emotional life, he has built a play of many characters and even more numerous problems. He has gathered, into a sunlit Maine summer palace, three generations of the Wyler family with their variegated...
...some $200,000. The chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System says he is a capitalist and a conservative. Some time before the 1929 collapse Mr. Eccles perceived that all was not well with the U. S. economic system.

...Major problem, for both Class B and for common holders, was the prospective increase in common shares, assuming that Class B holders would take their new preferred and convert it. From some 13,100,000 shares, capitalization would rise to some 18,500,000 shares. This meant about a 41% increase in common shares, and some 5,400,000 new shares among which to divide the profits. Radio Corp.'s 1935 earnings, announced along with the plan's presentation, amounted to $5,100,000. Assuming (recklessly) that Mr. Sarnoff was willing to pay out all his profits...
