...Svelte, 22-year-old Beatrice Barrett, Patty Berg's neighbor in Minneapolis, who set a new record for the Women's National when she posted 74 in the opening-day qualifying round, only two strokes above men's par for the long Wee Burn course...
Editorials in most cases reflected the policies of the papers, their geographical position and the bias of their publishers. The Chicago Tribune was isolationist, warned the country not to forget its last war lesson in "false friendship, broken faith, entrapment, disparagement and repudiation. " So were the Philadelphia Record the Detroit News ("It's the same old war! We got crossed up on it once. Once is enough."), and most of the Western papers. The Washington Star thought the U. S. "should support the French and the British to the extent envisioned in President Roosevelt's original proposal...
Cartoonists showed more humor than their editorial colleagues. Most of them jeered at the Russo-German rapprochement, refused to get excited about war.

What they paid for was a croaking shadow of Caruso's ringing voice. But in the days of hand-cranked Victrolas, even shadows were marvels of scientific progress. When the radio arrived in the early 20s, Victor Talking Machine Co., with Caruso as its biggest name, was doing more than half the industry's business to the tune of more than $50,000,000 annually...
