...quietly, departed from the Court the man whose appointment to it by Woodrow Wilson in 1916 shocked every then living ex-president of the American Bar Association including William Howard Taft; raised a storm in Senate and press that echoed long after he took his seat on the bench. Mr. Taft later apologized to Mr. Brandeis for doing him a "grave injustice." But many of his contemporaries lived and died in the belief that Louis Brandeis, the "People's Lawyer" of Boston where he practiced for 37 years, the courtroom David against the industrial and financial Goliaths...
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. Roosevelt, whose U. S. popularity is higher than her husband's in current polls, last week went into type on her own account. While her husband was catching what-for from the Senate on his foreign policy, in circumstances not dissimilar to Woodrow Wilson's 1919 dilemma (see p. 12), Mrs.Roosevelt wrote: "As far as possible I never discuss questions of partisan politics...
Dorothy Thompson was never married to a U. S. President, but her writings receive almost as wide attention throughout the land as do those of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt (see col. 1). Miss Thompson's husband, Novelist Sinclair Lewis, in his most famed book, Main Street, reached fewer U.

Senator Lodge's move was followed...
History. In 1919, the "secrecy" of their framing was the charge with which Senators Philander Knox and Henry Cabot Lodge I started the depopularizing of Woodrow Wilson's Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations Covenant before they reached the Senate. No charge could have been more unjust or illegal.* Yet this week, as the Senate geared itself for high-powered, full-dress debate on Franklin Roosevelt's foreign policy, "secrecy" faced Franklin Roosevelt as a charge and an issue likely to impede his National Defense program and other important legislation. No such giants of debate as Woodrow...
