Alfalfa Bill Murray and Huey Long in Today’s Grist
The column mocks Alfalfa Bill Murray as a grandiose figure fading from public view and questions if he still runs for president.

President Hoover reportedly backs US participation in an economic conference in London, focusing on world trade and silver value to revive commerce. The weather note reflects unusual patterns with late night thunder and cooler June forecasts, and a sighting of a windshield sticker reading NO PASSENGERS.
