Every TOWN HALL SQUARE, NUREMBERG, BAVARIA one is happy. The “gemutliche Stimmung” —congenial atmosphere—reigns supreme. The questions of the day, besides local gossip, are being discussed with more or less fervency, while last year’s vintage continues shrinking to the point of renewed replenishment. A permanent institution of the Ratskeller is found in the inevitable “Stammtisch”. This is a table set aside in a selected place for a certain group of inveterate habitues. It is being scru¬ pulously reserved day in and day out for the chosen few. The right to each place at the Stammtisch is jealously guarded, and woe unto him who would encroach upon another’s treasured privilege. The knights of the Stammtisch, as well as other habitual frequenters, are in a category of their own and known under the local epithet of Fibster. The Fibsters come regularly every evening and remain until closing time. Business is talked, politics discussed, wars waged, govern¬ ments criticized, and new methods devised for the most expeditious management of public afifairs —all under the blissful influence of the stimulat¬ ing atmosphere. Time is progressing, the evening drawing to a close, and the air is growing heavy. The coteries gradually break up. The individuals are reluctantly departing with miscellaneous remarks on the delightful evening before bidding fare¬ well to remaining friends. Transparent billows of tobacco smoke are lightly wafting their way, past amber-shaded chandeliers, towards the ceiling.

  • Dietz, Cyrus E 1928-1929
    Cyrus E. Dietz 1928-1929 © Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission Image courtesy of the Illinois Supreme Court Cyrus Edgar Dietz was born on a farm near Onarga, Illinois, a town on the Illinois Central Railroad in Iroquois County on March 17, 1875. At the peak of a highly successful career as a prominent attorney, he won a seat on the Supreme Court only to die of injuries sustained in an equestrian accident barely nine months after his swearing-in, making his tenure one of the shortest in the Court’s history. His parents were Charles Christian Dietz and Elizabeth Orth Dietz. He was the youngest of eight children. His father was born in Philadelphia of Alsatian background. His mother came from a Moravian family that settled in Pennsylvania in the early eighteenth century. Elizabeth Orth Dietz’s uncle was Godlove Orth, a friend of Abraham Lincoln’s during the Civil War, a prominent lawyer in Indiana, serving in the state legislature, in the United States House of Representatives, and as minister to the court of Vienna.1 His education began at the Grand Prairie Seminary at Onarga. From there he went to Northwestern University and majored in speech and law, obtaining his Bachelor of Law degree in 1902. His brother Godlove Orth Dietz graduated with him.2 While pursuing his double-major at Northwestern, he also played fullback for the university football team, an effort that earned him All-American status in 1901.3 2 After graduation he stayed near Northwestern to practice law in the Chicago office of William Dever, who would later become mayor of Chicago in the 1920s.

    NBER WORKING PAPERS SERIES WAS THERE A BUBBLE IN THE 1929 STOCK MARKET? Peter Rappoport Eugene N. White Working Paper No. 3612 NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH 1050 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138 February 1991 We have benefitted from comments made on earlier drafts of this paper by seminar participants at the NEER Summer Institute and Rutgers University. We are particularly indebted to Charles Calomiris, Barry Eicherigreen, Gikas Hardouvelis and Frederic Mishkiri for their suggestions. This paper is part of NBER's research program in Financial Markets and Monetary Economics. Any opinions expressed are those of the authors and not those of the National Bureau of Economic Research. NBER Working Paper #3612 February 1991 WAS THERE A BUBBLE IN THE 1929 STOCK MARKET? ABSTRACT Standard tests find that no bubbles are present in the stock price data for the last one hundred years. In contrast., historical accounts, focusing on briefer periods, point to the stock market of 1928-1929 as a classic example of a bubble. While previous studies have restricted their attention to the joint behavior of stock prices and dividends over the course of a century, this paper uses the behavior of the premia demanded on loans collateralized by the purchase of stocks to evaluate the claim that the boom and crash of 1929 represented a bubble. We develop a model that permits us to extract an estimate of the path of the bubble and its probability of bursting in any period and demonstrate that the premium behaves as would be expected in the presence of a bubble in stock prices.

    '72 Rewind: A New Murderers' Row? (The Chicago Baseball Museum will pay tribute to Dick Allen and the 1972 White Sox in a June 25 fundraiser at U.S. Cellular Field. We will chronicle the events of that epic season here in the weeks ahead. Sport magazine published this story in its August, 1972 edition.) By George Vass Posted on Monday, May 28 In Chuck Tanner's mind there is no question that he has a new “Murderer's Row” in the making in his White Sox. “I'm already convinced that this is the most power- ful hitting team the Sox have had in their history,” said Manager Tanner, “although I don't know if you could call it a 'Murderers' Row' in the old sense. “But potentially it is a 'Murderers' Row' of a differ- ent kind. What I mean by that is that while we have great home run power we also have a balance of fine line-drive hitters, men like Pat Kelly. We have both power and .300 hitting in good balance in our line-up. Allen, Melton and May form one of “When the phrase Murderers' Row is used it brings baseball's potent power trios. to mind the kind of teams in the past that had great home run power, but not necessarily the line-drive hitting, the balance of speed and power that we have.” As the Sox amply demonstrated by their early foot this season, led by the bombardment of Bill Melton, Dick Allen, Carlos May, Ed Herrmann, and Ken Henderson, they have the kind of power attributed to legendary clubs of the past.
