...outpouring of printing-press money. His polls of Congress showed a 20-to-1 sentiment in favor of quick inflation. Nevada's Senator Pittman tried to interest the White House in inflation by the free silver route. In Idaho Senator Borah rumbled: "Infla-tion is indispensable to the success of the NRA." A growing demand was developing for the Treasury to pay off depositors in closed banks with $3,000,000,000 in "greenbacks." The Iowa Farmers' Union was ranting for inflation and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace's scalp because he refused to believe that inflation...
...says simply. Why don't you try working in a theatrical office, you know plenty of the crowd... Kitty remembers her daughter in Boston; she is ambitious again. That she shouldn't have gotten to the top is no reason that Shirley shouldn't. Dancing lessons, a try-out, success, the Palace, and then a rehearsal in Boston for a musical comedy. While mother is having an appendectomy, Shirley romps through the woods with Warren Foster, a young artist, who is living in her grandmother's home. Kitty breaks up the romantic element in her daughter's life by blackmailing...

Castor diagnosed this as a popular reaction to personal success after personal failure, a sense of comfortable relief among us that he will not be the traditional ex-president, heavy on the national conscience, a kind of standing threat to the President of Princeton and the chief...
...James's success is due to his scientific elimination of the faulty avenues of approach, and to the peculiar skill with which he follows his own. The Jackson of Summer was a man who played a role in political movements; Bassett sought vainly to imbue life into notes which scarcely left his library cubicle; Parton's was the unmodified hero of local tradition. Taking cue from his Pulitzer prize "Raven" of 1929, Mr. James meticulously introduces the reader to the individuals with whom Jackson came into contact, and allows "Old Hickory" to evolve his own character through the medium...
