...instance, the College Government Handbook for 1932-1933 states: "The college dormitories close for the night at ten o'clock, and every student is required to be in her house at that hour, except in the following instances: 1. Seniors and juniors, if accompanied by an escort or a chaperone, or in groups of two or more, may return from the moving pictures in Wellesley Hills or Natick until 11:00 p.m. and from entertainments in Boston until 1:00 a.m., registering at their dormitories. 4. A student registered for an overnight absence from the college must spend the night...
They work around the globe, and of ten around the clock.

Their subject is infinitely elusive, yet hardly esoteric. It is Red China. Thanks to its China watchers, and the relatively new art of stethoscoping the Red Dragon, the U.S. has a clear lead over other nations in piercing the hermetic barriers that seal the Chi nese mainland from the outside world...
This month three school districts co operated in trying out the first pilot tests on 700 fourth-graders.

And the wages they get are pitifully small. In restaurants near, or even far away from some universities, university students can often be seen rushing here and there, scrambling for work...
...told his mistress, Lucy Krohg, who still runs a gallery on Paris' Right Bank, that he could no longer cross a street without her. The passage of time frightened him so much, she recalled last week, that he once threw a grandfather's clock out of the window. But time caught up with him. In 1930, at the age of 45, Pascin slashed his wrists, wrote "Lucy, Forgive me" on the wall with his own blood, and finding death too slow in coming determinedly hanged himself from his studio door...
