...members of the Mother of Parliaments, such as Lady Astor, sit in hats. Last week, however, buxom and expensively dressed Undersecretary for National Education Cécile Léon Brunschvicg; drawn-faced and thrifty Undersecretary for Scientific Research Iréne Curie-Joliot; and sweetly garrulous Undersecretary for Child Welfare Suzanne Lacore, decided unanimously to set the precedent that a French Cabinet female sits without...

Caustic little Miss Withers is most successful when, as the black sheep of an orphan asylum, she steals Thanksgiving turkeys from...
...even tenderer years of the five phenomenal children have achieved a memorial that took all of Methuselah's 900 years and all of Solomon's 500 wives to get for those two ancient worthies. Never before in the 168 years of Britannica history has a living child been given space in its pages...
