While Harvard's harassed H.A.A. officials shed briny tears at the loss of Saturday's game, and the loss of the goal-posts, Joseph Wright, head of the lost and-found department added a last touch to the desolate picture: he calmly produced from the debris of the aftermath a bull-dog--full-blooded, ferocious and uglier than Handsome...
...Adams regards this idealistic belief as the essential promise of his country. Last fortnight, in more realistic vein, he described one of the tragic fulfilments of the U. S. dream. Soundly documented and popularly written America's Tragedy traces U. S. sectionalism from its colonial beginnings to the aftermath of the Civil...
Judgment Day (written and produced by Elmer Rice). For his material for this play Mr. Rice made no bones about going to the judicial aftermath of the fire that mysteriously gutted Berlin's Reichstag Building in February 1933.

When inventories pile as high as they did in 1929 a depression follows. When they pile as high as they did last summer a "recession" is the aftermath. There are innumerable theories (generally monetary or social) to explain why buyers rarely outnumber sellers but few economists dare ignore the storm warnings of mounting stocks. By last week it was clear that ever since April 1 inventories have been accumulating at a more alarming rate than at any time...
