...Tsar and nonconforming prelates were imprisoned in dank and frigid Solovetsky Monastery on an island in the White Sea. The clergy in Russia today are not so poor as you might think. Not long ago I received a letter from a priest who wanted some new parts for his Buick...
...prosperity in Russia of even one priest able to require new parts for his Buick drives the League of the Militant Godless into tantrums. Their Jubilee last week was devoted to exhortations and alarms over what they consider a "New Menace": priests in various parts of Russia have now nimbly inserted Bolshevism into their creed and are preaching what seems to peasants a harmonious blend of Communism and Christianity.

His innovation had its box-office effect but purists shuddered at his taste, as they did again when he permitted a Buick sedan to be exhibited in the opera house foyer.

...sitting across the table from the looking so stern. News for the hinterland: all New York is going daffy about Harvard. Look alikes: Lionel Hall and Mower Hall, the pillars in front of Widener Library, Mrs Vanderbilt and Lady Furness, the Marx Brothers. I discovered that if the new Buick and last year's Oldsmobile wore the same hats they could pass for sisters...
