...British and play the sucker. Admiral Yamomoto has been very kind to you in understanding your case--even a little better than yourself. He has been very sympathetic; he wants your friendship, if not more so, at least as much as that of old John Bull. Give Admiral Yamomoto some encouragement. We want Japanese friendship. Why not equality backed up by a security peace pact, if you are sincere about your efforts? If this Parley is a failure you boys will have micceeded in grand fashion to threaten yourselves. We demand Japanese friendship! Alfred M. Nittle...
...make him better acquainted with the State than most of its natives. His lungs mended rapidly. In 1912 he bought the capital's only newspaper, the Santa Fe New Mexican, and promptly tacked on a Spanish edition. At the same time he jumped into politics as a Bull Mooser against Albert B.

Excerpt: ''We do not doubt that the celebration of the Congress not only demonstrates the universality of the Church, but also shows the splendid brilliance of the reign of Christ the King. . . . We have chosen our legate who in his most ample dignity and power...
...studied bow. When the first piece was over he did an unaccustomed thing. He grinned. To open the Boston Symphony's 54th season Koussevitzky had chosen a rich, compact passacaglia which he had written himself. Bostonians had been curious. Koussevitzky, they knew, was the world's greatest bull-fiddler. He could write sympathetically for the big bass, as Kreisler has written for the violin. For the Symphony's 50th anniversary celebration he contributed an overture. But Boston was apathetic to a composer who at that time preferred to remain anonymous. When last week's audience approved...
