Nobody for menial jobs by Sydney J Harris
The piece argues that rising wealth reduces willingness to take low-status service work. As affluence grows, youths seek goals and higher-education paths, leaving cooks, waiters, cleaners, and farm labor short of applicants.

Wisconsin politics split by liberals and conservatives in early 20th century
Letter from Jens Fuhr of Soldiers Grove argues that Wisconsin politics were shaped by both liberals and conservatives within the Republican banner in the 1920s and 30s. He notes Progressive and Stalwart factions, primary-driven contests, La Follette and Blaine landslides, and shifts in 1932 with Schmedeman and Duffy, then Progressives aligning with Roosevelt reforms and REA projects, urging recognition of liberals within the Democratic banner. The piece cites biblical verse and calls for unity.
