...leave me what's left of my girlish romanticism. Your articles have been fair, direct and intensely interesting, and now you, my Galahad, that I have cheered on in your quest for truth, have (oh, boor that you really are) spit in the Holy Grail.

...small audiences before the Fair opened, it is doubtful that transcontinental competition has hurt San Francisco's show so much as lack of showmanship.

They may do these things better in Moscow and Berlin, but Japan is catching up with the West...
