...honored by the statue authorized by S. J. Res. 21 was no other than Robert Green Ingersoll. Since 1930 the Freethinkers have been collecting funds to erect a statue of their agnostic hero, first planning to dedicate it on the centenary of his birth last August. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, commissioned to make the statue, completed in his Texas studio a clay model of the orator, in frock coat with arms akimbo. When cast in bronze the figure will be 12 ft. high, standing upon an 8-ft. marble base. Before that can take place, however, the House must also approve...

Picking words that would sting most he declared of Iofan's work: "It goes back to the most decadent pseudo-Roman development, the sort of thing old kings and old queens loved, a sort of tremendous wedding cake . . . incorporating the worst archaic...
...Woolsey ordered Ralph A. Freundlich Inc. to stop making the dolls, ordered an accounting of their profits. Like his famed decision in the case of the U. S. v. Ulysses, Judge Woolsey 's opinion was accompanied by discerning critical addenda. Woolsey on Boop: "Mr. Freundlich said to a sculptor, showing him a doll, This is about what I want but don't make it exactly like this.' That is a suggestion which I think is comparable to the way they used to sell grapejuice during Prohibition with accompanying instructions not to put any raisins in because...
