...Cleveland's Hotel Hollenden (just a short way from where Murderer Robert Irwin was working as a bar boy-see p. 11), the members of the Federal Steel Mediation Board did their best to arrange a permanent peace.

The steel companies now maintained that the question was not. and never had been, simply one of signing...
...wages, hours and other conditions of employment, but decline to put that agreement in writing. That is not true. No such agreement, oral or otherwise, has been reached.

Pepper prices are currently very low (6? per lb.) because last year's crop was the largest in history (87,000 tons were shipped) and there is now a glut of pepper...
...criticism intended to fumigate the world of his reputation as the equal of Montaigne, Rabelais, Renan, Voltaire. Most contemporary writing about him has reflected this opinion. With the possible exception of Proust the most-written-about French writer of the last century, Anatole France has not yet been the subject of a definitive English biography. Why biographers have been scared away may be surmised by reading Author Dargan's volume, a 729-pager which took ten years to write and covers only 52 of France's 80 years.
