...quoted as writing to the president of Harvard College; "Dear Lawrence--Long a student of heraldry, I have satisfied myself that the only families north of the Mason and Dixon line entitled to bear arms are the Winthrops and Saltonstalls." This was apropos of the question of putting a coat of arms on the gable end of the new unit of the Harvard house plan, Adams House...
...soon as the body was identified, police called at Professor Ivantsov's apartment. The door had been opened with the Professor's own latchkey. Sheets were hung over the windows. His expensive fur coat and 1,000 rubles ($500) were gone. His clothes, his books, his bric-a-brac, every article of value had been gathered together and tied up in neat little flat packages.

His sons suspect him of reckless conduct with a vivacious lady (Fifi Dorsay), suspect that his nose, withdrawn from the grindstone, will...
Still wearing his long black coat and his high silk hat, Sir Owen Cosby Philipps Baron Kylsant straightway motored to Wormwood Scrubs, passed through the jail doors. Newshawks had scarcely finished writing of what he would be expected to do as a prisoner in Second Division-scrub his own cell, wear prison clothes, work eight hours a day "at light labor" (library or clerical work)-before Lord Kylsant, just like any U. S. convict, was out again, released on $50,000 bail, pending appeal in October...
