Then something happened. A rose bush was discovered where tulips should have been. Caretaker Grant lost his temper, the young man lost his job. And next night travelers Manhattan-bound on the State of Maine Express watched a young man, dark-eyed, keenly alert, chew a pencil, write many a word on many a piece of yellow paper. Soon in the Daily Mirror appeared a romantic piece about a "honeymoon nest." It purported to tell of the place where Anne Spencer Morrow, spinster, and Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh, bachelor, will spend their first wedded days. And such a piece David...
...chorus of U. S. philosophizing, somewhere between the deep notes of John Dewey and the loud guggling of the Menckens, two voices are raised-Walter Lippmann's, young and clear, Ludwig Lewisohn's, old and sad. The two have much in common. As Jews, both men can claim rich philosophical heritage. As conscious Americans, both incline to intense modernism.

...Roger Steffan, onetime Ohio grocery boy, came last week a vice presidency in National City Bank. Many a young bank employe has, disgruntled, alleged that banks promote by seniority, that Age outranks Ability. Yet Banker Steffan, vice president of largest U. S. Bank, is but 36. Born in an Ohio village, that since has been wiped out to make room for a dam, Mr. Steffan has progressed far from his high school days in which he originated, as a class motto, the aphorism ''Impossible is Un-American." He would perhaps now be more inclined to remark that leading...
