...Cushion to Fall On. The trimming went deep. It caught the big operators as well as most of the small farmers. Oklahoma's oil-rich Governor Roy Turner, a breeder of registered Herefords, swallowed hard when his best bull brought only $6,100 at his annual sale last week. Last year his top animal fetched $25,000. Montana's "Wheat King," Thomas Campbell, who said three months ago that he was holding all of his 610,000 bushels, said last week that the wise farmer would still hold on; there might be a pickup in prices because demand...
...John Bull's Other Island (by Bernard Shaw; produced by Richard Aldrich & Richard Myers, in association with Brian Doherty) gave Broadway its first view of Dublin's Gate Theatre. Founded 20 years ago by Actors Hilton Edwards and Micheal MacLiammóir, who are still its heads and headliners, the Gate has grown more popular in Dublin as the once-great Abbey Theatre has grown less so. Though in Manhattan it will offer only Irish plays, in Dublin (unlike the Abbey) it features foreign ones; it has produced the works of O'Neill, Maxwell Anderson, Kaufman & Hart...
Miss Li & Miss Liu. Loudspeaker trucks blared through the streets of Nanking and other large cities.

To teach party discipline on other matters, Kuomintang leaders cracked the whip...
Though chapter houses were crowded, many married brothers now lived in Quonsets, trailers and boardinghouses off campus; they had little time for the old casual touch-football games on the lawn, or the beer & bull sessions. Even at Western and Midwestern campuses, where fraternities usually had been taken more seriously than in the East, actives were not as active any more. Were fraternities themselves on the decline? According to a survey of 17 big-time college campuses last week, the answer was decidedly...
Granted that a good deal of "bull-slinging goes on in exams involving essay question, some conclusion must inevitably be reached. The better an interpretation of the reading that conclusion is (leaving lots of room for the variety of interpretations,) the better the mark. Intelligent students (they tell me) do the same thing Mr. Cramer does, more or less, and I don't suppose the college cares half as much as everybody thinks whether the interpretation of reading matter is done by the student or Mr. Cramer...
