A nostalgic survey of Broadway cabaret life contrasts past hard-edged vamps with today’s younger, guarded performers. It lists impresarios, critics, and notable figures like Theodore Dreiser, Robert Benchley, and Zukor, noting social habits and the evolving nightlife milieu.
A colorful piece notes Cabaret Cuties described as young and naive with stylish turnout but criticized for their clothes. It highlights Po Winninger as a top performer and traces his versatile stage career. It also surveys Division Street shop activity reviving after closures with late hours and sales appeal drawing customers.

A 1994 essay muses that life depends on soil cycles and protective UV shielding. It critiques naive notions of intelligent design while wryly noting politics and economics shape society. It leans into science, economics, and public policy with sharp, ironic observations.
Treasury figures show per capita spirits and beer consumption surged since repeal while bootlegging persists. Analysts warn that high tax rates failed to curb illicit trade and revenue losses persist. Congress should reduce rates enough to crush bootlegging before considering higher taxes again.
