...Toll Roads? Not much, I think. Communism is here to stay. It was taught by Jesus and practiced by the greatest nation the world has ever seen. It has already been adopted, more or less, by nearly all the world and it will expand gradually everywhere, with a spasmodic burst here and there as in Russia. Bread lines will not always be tolerated...
...just finishing his military service, comfortably suffering from an imaginary ailment in the comparatively restful infirmary. Mobilization cured him. Sent to Rheims as part of a convoy to a supply train, he and a comrade managed to slip by the sentries into the Cathedral. Soon German shells began to burst in the ruined nave. Said his comrade: "It's not that I'm afraid, you understand, but I hate loud noises." On his return to Paris, Hero 'T' became successively clerk, bicyclist, male nurse; was often in trouble, sometimes in the guardhouse, oftener in the infirmary or some soft...
Allison's serve had been his best weapon against Cochet, as Tilden's had against Borotra. The final too was a test of serves and Tilden has always had the best serve in the world.

Prohibition!" occasionally leaving the stage free for other mummers to deliver pithy orations...
...Staten Island shore of New York Harbor in a big strong crate on a motor truck. The truck went aboard the ferryboat Nassau. The motion of the ferry excited the bull. It hooked at the crate's slats, then hurled its 1,200 lbs. against the end boards, burst through, charged the truck driver and the ferry's brass-buttoned mate. All passengers and the mate fled to the top deck, leaving the bull snorting and plunging below. Came a crash of glass and a mighty splash-the animal diving through a window into the choppy harbor...
