...President began to take cracks at publishers. Reporters who asked pointed questions were lectured by a Roosevelt who did not smile. New Deal lieutenants like Harold Ickes (who last year wrote a book damning newsmen as America's House of Lords) attacked the press as a tool of Big Business...
...Crucible, No. 1 maker of high-speed and tool steels and now busy on projectiles, periscope tubes, gun forgings, recently spent time and money getting a single proxy from a stockholder in unoccupied France.

Outside the heavy-meshed "strike fences" stood mocking, spindle-legged children, hard-muscled men, mustached old women. "Hello, rats!" they shouted. In front of -Electric Auto-Lite Co., scene of bloody labor battles between strikers and National Guardsmen, greybeards shook fists in the car windows...

He designed a modern cystoscope, a tubular instrument with a prism and electric light, used for examining the interior of the bladder. Other inventions: a combination cystoscope and radium applicator for treating tumors of the bladder; a special type of lithotrite, an instrument for crushing stones in the bladder...
