...Stadium. They have sat in the cheering section and shouted when told to by the cheer leaders. Or, perched on the East side, they have exhorted each member of the team by his, first name, establishing in this way their superiority to their hostile surroundings. Or, whenever a Crimson-clad player hit the line, they have jumped up in their seats and shrieked, "Atta boy, George...
...what was the purpose of Isadora, or rather Mrs. Serge Yessinin the bride, in performing as she did? Did she, by the scantiness of her costume, wish to excite our sympathy for the starving Russians, as scantily clad?

Their abode, perched on one of the lofty peaks in the snow-clad Andes, is almost inaccessible to hostile philistines. There, amidst the glorious inspiration of rugged mountains and tropical valleys, they ply their brains in perfect isolation, their climate equable for work, their minds bent on the sole task of learning and teaching.
