...Clan of Toil, clearly modeled in its air of mystery and vigilante spirit on the Klan but dedicated to "bettering immediately the economic condition of the Southern Worker" and "making USE and OCCUPANCY the only title to land." Hall saw in the ills of the South in 1915--tenant farming, poverty, exploitative land and factory owners--a great many similarities to Reconstruction, when his father's generation had complained of the same things, but Hall blamed them on the North. The feeling of being exploited ran deep through the South from the Civil War on; Populists, exhorting farmers, drew...
...country. There is apparently more than enough space for the corporate refugees from the fighting in the Lebanese capital. Last week, reported TIME'S Dean Brelis from Athens, the companies were rapidly filling up empty offices in a 24-story business building in downtown Athens. The previous tenant was a logistics branch of the U.S. Navy, which was forced to move out when the Greek government ended Sixth Fleet home-porting facilities in protest against American policy on Cyprus...

Fortunately, another unabashedly subjective book on some not-so-famous people deserving of praise has finally made it into print...

The mayors proposed two alternative plans: 1) that the Federal Government guarantee a new kind of bond issued by financially strapped cities which would not be exempt from federal taxes on the interest; 2) that the Government make direct, short-term loans to cities in need...
...income family into buying a ghetto house, perhaps by putting up part of the down payment. The company would then secure FHA insurance for the mortgage on the house, typically based on an unrealistically high appraisal that inattentive FHA officials did not question. After the financially strapped tenant let the house fall apart and moved out, the mortgage company would foreclose. It would then collect a fat check from the agency in repayment of the defaulted loan, leaving the FHA stuck with a house that could be resold only at a heavy loss...
