...mostly deserving Democrats appointed by the President: Judge John H. Druffel of the Court of Common Pleas at Cincinnati, Mayor James H. Hurley of Willimantic, Conn., Mrs. Katharine Elkus White, Democratic leader of Red Bank, N. J., Novelist Owen Johnson of Stockbridge, Mass., a realtor from Manhattan, a club woman from Baltimore, an insurance man from Jersey City, etc., etc. Also present as ex-officio testers were the Federal Judge of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Oliver B.

...telephone line into the modernistic, ship-shaped B. B. C. Building was jammed with the furious complaints of British radio listeners who had never before heard "Mrs. Simpson'' uttered on the air. The Duke of Windsor in his B. B. C. abdication broadcast called her simply "the woman I love." Almost instantaneously last week a B. B. C. technician had cut the broadcast, but just too late...
That part of John Meade's Woman which is geared to these phenomena is an effectively written, well-photographed slice of U. S. industrial history.

Police exulted over those tell-tale photo graphs when they raided this abortorium last autumn. But prosecutors did not need to subpoena any of the women as witnesses, for Anna Bartholomeo, 20, inmate of the North Jersey Training School for Girls, testified willingly.

Because she had neglected to take out a Harley anti-birth policy, "Dr." Harley wanted to charge her $150 for the abortion. Her "friend," who accompanied her, haggled the charge down to $125, whereupon Anna Bartholomeo was promptly delivered...
