...first time in his ursine life, Senator William Edgar Borah, who refuses all invitations to go to Europe, broadcast last week to Europe. The whole Continent tuned in. Oppressed nations look to the ponderous, fearless Chairman of the U. S. Senate's Foreign Relations Committee as their greatest champion. Oppressing Great Powers view him with logical alarm.

One of the University A teams, the Reds, is scheduled to play the Harvard Club Class A Reds, and the C team meets the Harvard Club C team at the University courts, while the B team plays...
...Speeches were made by Professor Demetrios Tselos of Princeton, Vice Consul Konstantine Konstandas. The guest of honor (who was unfortunately unable to be there because of a pressing engagement to wrestle in Toronto) was lion-chested Christopher Theophilus, more widely known as Jim Londos, world's heavyweight wrestling champion. High above the clink of coffee cups sounded the praises of Greek artists, poets, professors and diplomats, for their champion, his musical ability, his culture, his extensive library, his college education...
