A propos de cet article

WITHOUT GLOVES: A REALISTIC RUNNING COMMENT ON THE GREAT FEDERAL EXPERIMENTS, THEIR OPERATIONS AND OPERATORS, Frank R. Kent, hardcover, 1934. BOOK CONDITION: good. The text block is in near fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. The pages are age-toned. No bookplate or signature of a prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The green boards are in good condition (intact, bumped spine top and bottom, bumped corners, some edge wear). 8 x 5 ½, 306 pages, 19 ounces XX [From the 1934 New York Times review] Mr. Kent, who has a good time pot-shotting 'recovery' and its mechanisms in the editorial columns of The Baltimore Sun has selected about forty of his articles dealing particularly with the two sessions of the Seventy-third Congress and the intervenIng recess and arranged them in what he calls a realistic running comment on the great Federal experiments, their operations and operators. Mr. Kent has the freest hand because he has no thesis to be developed systematically and can fire at any mark that offers. He finds marks in plenty and rarely fails to score a hit. He pays his respects to professor Moley the special adviser sweeping into the London Conference by seaplane and naval destroyer only to be sunk within three days, and professor Moley the editor providing the comic touch by advising the veteran M. Litvinov how to conduct himself as a diplomat after he reached the United States. Professor Tugwell. Peering through the empurpled haze down long. lovely vistas at the end of which lie flowery beds of ease on which everybody leads a happy life, and producing articles and speeches literally reeking with Conservatism, yet dropping his standards instead of sticking to them when a Senatorial committee questioned him and doing nothing that would increase respect for him among discriminating people, is an obvious target. as are the financial experts of the Senate who spoke with authority out of the business experience acquired in those great financial centres of Gulfport Tonopah, Jacksonville, and Medicine Park.
