That afternoon C. C. N. Y.'s President Frederick Bertrand Robinson, 49, walked across the street to Lewisohn Stadium to review a drill of the college's Reserve Officers' Training Corps. When he reached the entrance with his military science department head, Colonel George Chase Lewis, and other guests, he found a Pacifist crowd blocking his way. They jostled him, pinioned his arms for a moment. Then he raised his umbrella, flayed left & right, soon lost his umbrella. Police drove a flying wedge into the mob, surrounded...
Lycanthropy was a family failing among the Pitamonts. One Christmas Eve in mid-Nineteenth Century Paris Bertrand, product of Father Pitamont's rape of a servant girl, was born into the tradition.

"The ideas (Dderot's) are essentially Christian .!): for the worship of God, Diderot has substituted respect for posterity...
...over Europe, Australia, the U. S., trace the progress of his love-affair with Baroness von Richthofen, first another man's wife, then Lawrence's, the tides of his friendships and quarrels, equally didactic and wholehearted. To Lady Ottoline Morrell he wrote: "Today we have a letter from Bertie [Bertrand Russell] : very miserable. He doesn't know why he lives at all: mere obstinacy and pride, he says, keep him alive." Middleton Murry shows curious humility in allowing some of the letters Lawrence wrote him to be published. Lawrence to Murry: "You remember saying, T love you, Lorenzo...
