...wrote in his potent yesterdays: 'fallacious and mendacious . . . exploits single incidents of the [Communist] party discussion . . . perverts the meaning of facts." Since writing those lines Trotsky has been exiled to the remote vicinity of Chinese Turkestan because he dared to continue "party discussion" in a party which demands blind obedience. Last week, at Manhattan, Poet Max Eastman returned good for evil by making public a letter from Russian Communist friends purporting to reveal, for the first time, precise details of M. Trotsky's enforced setting out from Moscow (TIME...
...daily the Memorial Chapel controversy waxes hotter, and yearly Appleton Chapel is following Memorial Hall into desuetude, modern educators have sought vainly after the cause and cure of growing religious antipathy among undergraduates. In the fervid scramble after mental and physical achievement, the college has gone blind to things spiritual. With this in mind, the CRIMSON has delved deep until now the "cause causinge," the taproot of the evil lies exposed. By thorough investigation it has been ascertained that the cushions in the chapel pews, unduly hard and cold in the early morning, have enforced many absences. In fact, students...

His all-absorbing passion for Russia, however, his desire for her good over that of any party, his blind devotion to what he believes to be right--these are the characteristics which make him a splendid figure. These too are the characteristics which win the devotion of Natascha, the most dangerous revolutionist in Russia, capably played by Evelyn Brent. Around the love of these two the story is woven...
Indubitably, this work has been enormously aided through the publicity as well as by the personal efforts supplied by blind, mute Helen Keller. Impressed with the miracle which made doubly terrible Homer's cry, "O dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon, irrevocably dark, total eclipse without all hope of day," she could pity Milton, "upbraiding the world in high astounding terms," whose "light was spent ere half his days." She could doubt, in her heart, that it was a Nemesis who, that faraway, forgotten winter, had laid his hand upon her eyes. She could sense, perhaps, a certain...
