Quotable Gist from 1929 Headlines on Promises and Protests
A column of satirical quips from 1929 notes Tunney calling a $600000 breach of promise suit a joke and questions the million dollar Chicago Dempsey fight. It lampoons reparations, moonshine in schools, fashion, crime, Mussolini plans, cannibals and radio entertainers with sharp, punchy lines.
