...Press one day last fortnight appeared a cartoon which, if it had been printed in the Communist Daily Worker or New Masses, would almost certainly have caused Representative Fish to intro duce a resolution in Congress and the Hearst Press to roar: "The Revolution is AT HAND." U. S. hunters outnumber the U. S. Army 30-to-1. The cartoon summoned them to take up arms against the Government. It showed a mighty army of sportsmen, scientists, bird-lovers and miscellaneous conservationists armed with double-barreled shotguns and high-powered rifles marching on Washington, forcibly dragging a bewhiskered "Congress...
...worker in a steel factory, Chaplin has to screw nuts on plates in an assembly line. He is dexterous but uneasy. A fly lights on his nose. He brushes it off. The belt gets ahead of him. He follows it into the maw of a gigantic machine which has to be reversed to return him to the line.

Comrade Stakhanov's co-workers under ground thus seemed to be either worn out or sulky. Moscow ordered by telegraph "YOU MUST WIPE OUT YOUR DISGRACE." In most cases throughout Russia, statistics showed that during the first five days of nationwide Stakhanovism the workers increased their output, but that it fell during the next five days, as it became...
...greatest evangelists of all time. Vincent Ferrer (1350-1419), of knightly Spanish birth, belonged to the Order of Friars Preachers (Dominicans). For 50 years he lived austerely, declined all honors. With middle age came Vincent Ferrer's renown as a wonder worker. He preached across the length & breadth of Western Europe, sometimes followed by an odd army of 10,000 penitents. He is estimated to have converted 25,000 Spanish Jews. No linguist, he was credited with having the pentecostal "gift of tongues" so that his word was understood everywhere. In his last 20 years this Dominican was believed...
