Back to Nature: McConnell’s wilderness test of civilization

Scientist Burt McConnell enters a three month solo survival in a Canadian wilderness to prove civilized man can endure without prior training.

Henry the Great By Herbert Kaufman Copstiakh, 1829 Day Whrrer and Herder

Matthew Woll argues Henry Ford’s foreign ventures drain US payroll and labor. Ford’s critics warn Europe will imitate mass production and export surplus worldwide unless he acts to protect current export trade. The piece lauds Ford as a uniquely original builder of a vast private fortune, contrasting early inexperience with later decisive marketing and production innovations that reshaped automotive manufacturing.

It names dozens of figures from theater, publishing, and crime, sketches vivid street life on Fifth Avenue and Harlem, and hints at nightlife, hotels, and a restless crowd. The unreliable narrator muses on actors, writers, impresarios, fashion, and urban absurdities.
