Ladd doesn't really "steal" the show, as newcomers often do. That would be somewhat difficult, since he is the whole show himself. Appearing in nearly every scene, and dominating every other character in the story, Ladd neatly pulls a weak and often aimless story up by his own bootstraps into the realm of first-rate escapist filmfare. As Raven, the grim and psychopathic gunman who doesn't even bother to blink when he polishes off his daily quota of victims, he glides easily through a part that in other hands might well have degenerated into another "boy-from...
Parity is a simple idea, and an even simpler steal. It means that farm prices relative to industrial prices will never fall below the ratio of the pre-World War I decade. This is about as fair as guaranteeing brokers the same profits they made in 1928. No one denies that farm incomes are low, or that farmers need relief.

The men in the Legislature who worked hard to put the steal over, until the State Supreme Court seated Forrest Donnell, were St. Louis' 19 Democratic State Representatives. Last week, in the face of public and press condemnation, not one of them had yet dared announce that he would run for re-election in November...
...need here are tanks and flamethrowers and soft-nosed bullets. And why do you maim heretics, and bury gluttons in mud and traitors up to their necks in ice? Why, every man in the Party would be caught in your tortures - and they are your own best disciples. They steal and lie and become traitors if need be, but only because they are strong and others are weak." "Enough," cried the Devil, losing his temper. "You fool. Heydrich! I am old and I know sin. It is punishable and some times it is an art. But you are not even...
