...Evidently it did, for Slagle, instead of kicking, started for the Yale right end with the ball under his arm. A few moments later he was 82 yards farther down the field, which was as far as he needed to go. In the next period, when Princeton was in danger, Dignan punted 71 yards. These two fabulous feats, plus the work of a line that never wavered, made it possible for big W. H. Edwards ("Peter Pan of Princeton") to climb down from the stands and lead a writhing battalion to tear down the goal posts for souvenirs. Score: Princeton...
...Abbot Speaks" is an excellent example of the danger of treating inadequately a subject already handled superbly by a great writer. Whatever else it may be, it is not poetry. But to discuss in detail its obvious shortcomings would be unsuitable. One can only regret the momentary lapse in taste that led to its publication.

In the event of any great war in the future, the noncombatant population will be in far greater danger from aerial and chemical threats, if one is to believe the prophecies of scientists and military experts. And the whole project of calling a conference for the purpose of abolishing the submarine only, while the sinews of chemical warfare are being perfected toward annihilating hostile populations...
Nobody can deny his passionate love for his country, his daily struggles on the behalf of Italy in the face of every kind of danger and opposition with an energy which is often prodigious. At home and abroad Mussolini is considered a kind of national emblem working with a kind of mystical exaltation, which may be criticized in its details, but whose loftiness of spirit and the nobility of whose ends cannot be denied...
