...first Supreme Court decision day of 1936 Mr. Justice Roberts, reading the majority (6-to-3) decision on AAA, declared in slow, precise words: "The tax, the appropriation of the funds raised, the direction for their disbursement are but part of the plan. They are but means to an unconstitutional end." For nearly two years since the Supreme Court swept away that New Deal mainmast, the Administration's farm policy has been sailing under jury...

...Bagdad, where he is received by the Sultan and Sultana (former Strip-Teaser Gypsy Rose Lee). Eddie earns the gratitude of the harassed Sultan by setting up a New Deal, with himself as Prime Minister. Some of his projects: improved breadlines (one for rye, one for whole-wheat), a tax on wives, bridges for riverless Bagdad* (the rivers to be dug later), dancing lessons for the masses, filling stations for camels...
