Mercury's precession showed the effects of mass dilation, providing a crucial observational confirmation of one of Einstein's theories—Mercury is slightly heavier at perihelion than it is at aphelion because it is moving faster, and so it slightly "overshoots" the perihelion position predicted by Newtonian gravity.

 MBCA Scrapbook - American Mercury, May 1955
The Spanish American War inspired several types of shooting banks — the coin being placed on the barrel of the gun to be shot into a tree, a boat, or some similar receptacle.
Just a year or so ago, a well-known distillery issued two types of banks, one numbered and limited to 1,000, the other, practically the same bank but in colors instead of white metal.
But so many of these banks were broken by persons in a hurry to get the coins from them, and so many others have been lost or destroyed by fire, probably it will not be many years before even the more common ones will be in great demand.

THE AMERICAN MERCURY During 1923, while he and the noted drama critic George Jean Nathan were still editing the Smart Set, Henry Louis Mencken gleefully anticipated the new monthly to be published the following January by Alfred A. Knopf.
When the American Mercury was established, Mencken and Nathan were each given twenty-five shares of stockthe remaining one hundred were divided among Knopf, his wife, and his fatheras well as full editorial control.3 The magazine was intended for the intelligent, solvent, urbane American who was skeptical about brummagem utopias and the yearning to save humanity.
By December 1950, Spivak was reportedly losing forty thousand dollars an issue, and he sold the Mercury to Clendenin J. Ryan, the wealthy son of Thomas Fortune Ryan.22 Ryan published three issues under the title the New American Mercury and sold the magazine to William Bradford Huie in February 1951.

 MALMEDY and McCARTHY
Today, most Americans probably would agree with Senator Taft and the few others who had the courage and foresight to condemn the Nuremberg trials at the time they were held.
But the public has been kept in almost complete ignorance of the U.S. Army trials at Dachau of minor German "war criminals," where both the methods of investigation and the trials were far worse than at Nuremberg; and which established a precedent for the mistreatment of our prisoners of war in Korea.
Far from denying the truth of these allegations, two of the "un-American" investigators employed by the U.S. Army to extract "confessions" from German prisoners of war, namely, Lt. Colonel Ellis and Lt. Perl, told Judge Von Roden of the Simpson Commission in 1949 that force was necessary in view of the difficulty in obtaining evidence.
