...marriage, in order to discourage hasty unions. That is hardly likely to take hold everywhere in the Soviet Union, as is illustrated by one local problem brought out in recent press discussions: the government has so far been unable to suppress the mating habits of males in the Caucasus region, who woo their brides by abducting and raping them...

In California, a magazine sensibly titled Magazine (1933-35) printed Critics Yvor Winters and R. P. Blackmur. In Santa Fe, Laughing Horse (1921-39) celebrated the Southwest through the writing of such contributors as Upton Sinclair and Sherwood Anderson.
