...Texas' biggest city (292,000), got $400,000 for memorializing the battlefield of San Jacinto. San Antonio as third largest (232,000) got $440,000 for repairing the Alamo. Austin, the state capital, is relatively small, but has the University of Texas which claimed $300,000. Fort Worth, the fourth city (163,000) had a potent pull in the person of the New Deal's Amon G. Carter and wangled $250,000. Texas' second biggest city, Dallas (260,- 000) ran off with the plum. Not for historical background but because she is Texas' financial capital...

But by last week its founder was ready for another venture. Mr. Young moved again, this time to another 42nd Street address, the Lincoln Building, where he became president of Young Management Corp. Mr. Young's shy, quiet manner is deceptive. He is a master...
...cumulative effect less personal than Sheean & Co., more sharply focused than Mark Sullivan, more impressive than either. Ticketed as a literary critic, Edmund ("Bunny") Wilson a few years ago found his position too academic in a day "when accuracy of insight, when courage of judgment, are worth all the names in all the books," went out of his study to take a look for himself. His subjective-factual report covers three years (1932-35), two countries (the U. S. and Russia). Parts of the U. S. he found like Hell, parts of Russia like Purgatory; but he came...
