...helmet trotted out on the field and took his place in the line. In those days football players wore neither numbers nor helmets. So from his conical headgear the midshipmen knew who the player was and that his skull had been injured earlier in the year. "Reeves!" they shouted, "Bull Reeves!" And when Navy won (6-4), the midshipmen gave"Bull" Reeves credit for having saved the game...
...present confusion in the minds of the Nazi viceroys as to which of the temperamental Hitler hierarchy to take orders from was settled at the same time. Neither club-footed Paul Joseph Goebbels, bull-necked General Göring nor strange Captain Roehm will command them, now sole rulers of the individual provinces. Their orders will be laid down by Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick...

...himself on public utilities and farm relief. Colorado's Costigan was for years the left-handed bad boy of the Tariff Commission. He will shortly behold his dream- a rationalized, selective tariff-walking and talking in & out of the White House. California's white-crested Johnson, who Bull-Moosed with another Roosevelt, found the New Deal sufficiently "progressive" to go out and stump for it in 1932. Louisiana's rowdy Long is, of course, merely the loudest noise on the Left, going further than any one as is his wont. He wants, for example, a capital levy...
