Billed as "nonsectarian and non-partisan," the 13 lectures were "expected to result in a rediscovery of spiritual and patriotic values in this community." Playwright Channing Pollock labeled his address: "I Am a Reactionary." The others did not need to. Among them: George Ephraim Sokolsky; Mark Sullivan; Editor Henry Justin Allen of the Topeka State Journal; handsome Dr. Ruth Alexander, who has been touring the U. S. publicizing religion as a prop for capitalism (TIME, Dec. 19); and two Methodists, onetime Governor Arthur Hyde of Missouri and Chicago Banker Wilbur Helm, who four years ago formed the Conference of Methodist...
...forward story of regeneration by fresh air and pure love. Johnnie (John Garfield), a middleweight prize fighter suspected of murder, of which he is innocent rather by good luck than good management, runs away to an Arizona date farm, where he encounters Gloria Dickson and the Dead End kids. Result: he is transformed from a mean-tempered hooligan into a model of good behavior...
Offered for licensing by Houdry Process Corp., the new process may revolutionize refining. At present only Sun and Socony-Vacuum are using it, and they mix the result with ordinary gas to improve the octane rating.

The result-as when, for example, he praises Ignazio Silone, author of Bread and Wine (TIME, April 5, 1937), or denounces fascism-is that his language, instead of acquiring gravity, stiffens with awkwardness, like a comedian at a funeral...
Jonathan Orestes Jones was a puny lad, but he was smart enough to get a job as usher at Roxy's Theatre, and do bodybuilding exercises on the side. Result: he became a Grade-A physical specimen, soon headed his own body-building establishment, General Manpower, Inc. But Orestes ran his racket with a difference: he rented out his customers-as strikebreakers, loggers, steelworkers, etc. These "units" of General Manpower not only drew high wages but owned a share in the business. Worked intensively but never long, they were guaranteed intermediate periods of "reconditioning" at the company...
