...remember when little Tar Moorehead (so called to pacify Anderson relatives) discovered the great impersonal world of horses, rats, cows, sheep, and tried to join it by eating grass. He has never lost the sense of curiosity, wonder and cosmic humor experienced by little Tar when he saw the bald drug clerk and his lean wife cutting privy antics. He recalls Tar's first frights, shames, loves, possessions, just writing them down and then looking at them as Tar used to, stupidly perhaps but quite happily, saying, "Well, now. What to think of that?" The only sad note...
...Senators become acclimated. This session there are only four newly-elected ones: Arthur R. Gould of Maine, Republican, 6 ft. 2 in., healthy and 70; Harry B. Hawes of Missouri, Democrat, able fisherman and breeder of pedigreed hogs; David W. Stewart of Iowa, Republican, onetime Marine, portly, bald and 41; David I.

...Eliot was the best judge of academic cattle in America." So states in bald terms the Manchester Guardian, conservative British weekly.

Count Keyserling's chief preoccupation is with the Western World, whose soul and mind he and others (notably Herr Doktor Oswald Spengler) profess to find...
Slender, getting bald; a wart on the left side of the nose. Protruding ears, sallow coloring. That is Isaac Shapiro, famed swindler, seven times convicted thief, now at large. That is also William Feit, honest salesman. Arraigned, Salesman Feit stood in court. Bondsmen, victims, detectives, policemen, identified him as Swindler Shapiro. He said he was innocent. Even his lawyer did not believe him. He faced life sentence. Honest Feit looked evilly around the court, whispered something to his lawyer, one Emmanuel Celler. Lawyer Celler, realizing that his client was sure to be convicted, put a fingerprint expert on the stand...
