...splashed all over the papers last week. Reason: he had just told chemists about his new, cheap, artificial production of three powerful sex hormones (testosterone, progesterone and desoxy-corticosterone), from sarsaparilla root compounds. A boon to doctors, Professor Marker's synthetic hormones will cost far less than natural sheep and cow products. Professor Marker warned Penn State's publicity department to warn the press not to sensationalize his sarsaparilla. Worried Penn State promptly sent out the following "confidential" release...
Bedded and shown on the acres and acres of floor space in the International Amphitheatre at Chicago's stockyards were 13,340 combed, brushed, manicured, lowing, squealing, braying, baaing cattle, horses, sheep, swine.

To the shoe industry, that also means a lot of business for its prices: 1936 and 1937 sales topped...
...taking his favorite plot of the sheep among wolves and putting it down in the heart of U. S. political life, the Senate, Frank Capra has created something close to dynamite in motion picture form. "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", like all Capra pictures, makes you laugh, cry, and sit on the edge of your seat in suspense. But this time Capra has gone a step further: he has portrayed what James Truslow Adams calls the "American dream." Granted that the picture is emotional to the nth degree, the fact remains that democracy, Americanism--call it what you will...
