J Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, urged Oklahoma sheriffs and peace officers to curb local crime and fight political interference.

Sympathy in Action and Its Selfish Reward
A reflective meditation on sympathy and ethical probing. The narrator cites Stevenson's endorsement of sympathetic understanding toward even unlikable individuals, arguing genuine imagination of another's loneliness and strength enriches the self. Practical empathy, not heavenly rewards, strengthens courage and life, ending with a cheeky punchline about money.
