...which they termed themselves, "Assassins of Sorrow." From the titles you can guess that they were comedians. Through all of these performances the thing that I remember distinctly is the extreme nervousness and stage fright of Fredric Bickel. Back stage before, during, and after each performance Fredric drank copious draughts of ice water and during dress rehearsal required considerable prompting from his partner. Fredric Bickel was always a modest and sensible sort of person: hence, I am led to agree with TIME that twelve years ago he would have been vastly surprised. . . . HOWARD ("SPARKS") DODGE...
...Yard last evening, wondering why the Gods had not arranged a rotating weather schedule for the Fall. Cambridge puts on a cloak of the Mediaeval for rainy weather, especially on drenching evenings, and as the Vagabond trudged along, drawing himself bodily farther into the innermost warmth of his copious waterproof, he could not help exploring a trifle the grey depths of his youth.

An expert worm fisherman told him how to bait the hook: " 'Catch hold of the skin at two places . . . so the ends will wiggle. Some fellers claim that the point of the hook showin' scares the fish but that...
Next day, first thing after breakfast, came "quiet time." Reporters watched The Group members assemble in the sunny ballroom, get out pencil & paper "to take down what God says." Some waited with poised pencils, others took down copious messages. After 15 minutes D. Scoville Wishard said: "Some will want to share what God said." There were many who did, all beginning "it came to me. . . ." Said Jonkheer van Lennep: "God has told me he is blessing this house party." Said Evershed Thompson of the Edinburgh Stock Exchange: "Jesus is here...
