Time begins to move more swiftly and the Wife of Bath is called upon to spin a yarn. She begins with a will; her argument runs upon the necessity of according to the wife the "souverainetee" in marriage. A pretty parable attests her point...
...painted or lithographed in the U. S., was clean-shaven, bald, dressed like a truckdriver. In his three years at Ohio State he was shortstop on the baseball team. His capacity for beer was exceeded only by that of his good crony, lusty George links. Never did a public argument arise-the shooting of Edith Cavell, lynching in the South, the hypocrisy of the Billy Sunday school of revivalists - but vivid George Bellows felt impelled to get himself and his trenchant pencil into...

Yankee enthusiasts retaliated with the argument that the Polo Grounds, where the grandstands are nearer to the plate than in the Stadium, would suit home run experts like Gehrig, Joe Di Maggio, Bill Dickey. Hired to sign stories for Hearst sport pages, Pitcher Hubbell and First Baseman Gehrig met in the syndicate's office in Manhattan...
