Abstract

In the Wind

The article presents news clippings and stories submitted by readers. Although the Atlantic Monthly's anti-Mexican supplement, The Atlantic Presents, was completely made up of attacks on the Mexican government, a note appeared in small type on the opening page that is Cover photograph courtesy of Mexican Government Tourist Bureau. A story in the Newark Evening News carried this headline: "Strike in Frisco Hits Food Supply." The body of the story, which described current labor strife on the West Coast, said: "Spokesmen for grocery distribution said there was no immediate peril of a food shortage, since retail stores were well stocked, but liquor wholesalers forecast an almost immediate shortage of advertised liquor brands when their plants are closed."
