...therefore, Senator Long set out to make the President look sick and silly by talking the NRA resolution to death. He had been out of the headlines for weeks and needed fresh publicity to re-establish his nuisance value with the Administration. If his lone filibuster against NRA should somehow succeed-and perhaps other Senators who hated the President as much as he did would come to his aid-he could stick a Blue Eagle feather in his hat and call it macaroni or a great personal victory over the New Deal. Besides, throngs of visiting Shriners in the galleries...
Darkly, like water dripping through the grounds in a coffee urn, an idea last week percolated through the minds of professional G. O. Politicians: Franklin Roosevelt's press conference declaration for centralized Federal control of business (TIME, June 10) would somehow make them a cracker jack issue for 1936. On one of his cross-country pilgrimages to Republican shrines, Herbert Clark Hoover snatched at it like a starving man snatching at a crust of bread.

...week clerk to be Prime Minister-and form a so-called "National Government." That master stroke has given Britain a Cabinet Conservative in fact which has carried on for nearly four years under the pretense that Mr. MacDonald, having ditched his Labor friends, yet remained a "National Laborite," and somehow represented Britain's proletariat.

"It is very silly for the Press to mention me, as I am not a world leader. Our last was Ataman Bogayevsky who died in Paris last October, necessitating this election. The unit of Cossack life for 400 years has been the 'village' and it was Ataman Bogayevsky who made New York a Cossack village...
...sleepless was a corpulent, 59-year-old police reporter named John H. Dreher of the Seattle Times, one of a flock of 75 newshawks which alighted at Tacoma to cover the Northwest's biggest snatch. Oldster Dreher justified his 40 years in the business with an oldtime scoop. Somehow he got word of Farmer Bonifas' early morning call to the Tacoma police. "On one of those hunches that come like a royal flush," wrote Reporter Dreher afterward, "I started out in a taxicab to meet the farmer's automobile." Meet it he did. He commandeered the child...
