...conditions almost totally destroyed her ability to move her head, eyes, jaws, tongue, shoulders, hips, legs, knees. The withered frontal lobe proved most interesting to Northwestern's pathologists, for it was not directly affected by the attack of encephalitis lethargica which rendered the young woman inert. Dean Irving Samuel Cutter of Northwestern offered this explanation: "The first stages of encephalitis are sleep, paralyzing of certain cranial nerves, general weakness and acute inflammation chiefly affecting the grey matter in the midbrain region. The secondary effects are inflammation of the capillaries and lymph spaces in the brain proper, filling the spaces...
Least willing of all was John L. Lewis, who had even dared on one occasion to campaign for the A. F. of L. presidency against Samuel Gompers himself. In that abortive campaign Mr. Woll had bitterly opposed Mr. Lewis-something which Mr. Lewis never forgot or forgave. Therefore with the aid of other rebels against the dead hand, Mr. Lewis pitch-forked into the nation's No. 1 Labor office, the pink-cheeked secretary-treasurer of his United Mine Workers.

During that era corruption and abuse permeated several craft unions but Labor politics made it hard for Bill Green to take action even against known A. F. of L. racketeers. His crowning ineptness was that unlike John L. Lewis, he never learned...
Last week Grove Laboratories, Inc., manufacturers of Bromo Quinine, presented Hugh Samuel Johnson in the first of a series of newscasts which will be heard four nights a week over NBC's Blue network. Bromo Quinine is recommended "For colds and simple headaches," and to most observers of the U. S. scene, Grove's choice of General Johnson seemed singularly appropriate. On a vast scale the General has been causing headaches in one quarter or another for the past four years-first to businessmen when he was the Blue Eagle's boss, then to anti-New Dealers...
