...single opposition vote was cast by lank-haired, intense James Maxton, one of Parliament's three ultra-left Independent Laborites who represent Glasgow's shipyard workers.* More important, 67 of those present did not vote at all. And as far as a large part of Parliament was concerned, the vote was not wholehearted; it just seemed necessary. Afterward Winston Churchill's many critics went right on criticizing...
...Emerson was right in saying that an institution is but the lengthened shadow of one man. Dr. Mott has cast his shadow in all directions. In 1886, while still a Cornell undergraduate, he helped build the Student Volunteer Movement. In 1895 he sparked the World's Student Christian Federation proclaiming "the evangelization of the world in this generation." He inspired the Laymen's Missionary Movement which spurred U.S. Protestants to increase their gifts for missions. At Edinburgh in 1910 he chairmaned the great interdenominational world conference, out of which evolved in 1920 the I.M.C., which he has headed...

Surmiser John Barrymore was right. For five minutes, 35 seconds, seated at his special mike, leaning his tired head on his fingers and forgetting to ham it, he played Romeo to his blooming daughter Diana's Juliet.

Thus increased is the chance that a cow will produce twins (now one chance in 224 in the beef breeds) or even quintuplets...
Sensitively and carefully produced, "All That Money Can Buy" is at the same time a forceful commentary on the American scene. With a superb cast that steps right out of Benet's story, it is a heart warming tale of very human people,--people you might know yourself. This assumes that you don't know Mr. Scratch, otherwise known as the Devil. But you'll know him and like him after you see Walter Houston's sly, mischievous interpretation of a role that could easily be overdone...
