None the less Publisher Mitre attributed the suppression of the mutiny very largely to the King's dash by motor in six hours from San Sebastian to Madrid where he lent the support of royal prestige to the drastic acts of Primo de Rivera in suppressing the mutiny...
Earl Carroll's Vanities. The fifth and grossest of all edition of Earl Carroll's Vanities, in spite of an irrelevant dash of Spanish atmosphere, presents the most authentic (but not at all unusual) impression of a medical student's nightmare. Bodies! Bodies! Bodies! Stuck all over the stage. Hung in midair, on dangling hooks. Rigid-as the law requires. Slowly they are wheeled in circles, yanked up, let down, by fiendish, invisible agencies. Occasionally they spring into action, appear as living, writhing creatures.

The Faculty of Architecture at Harvard is determined that, if a college education, with the breadth that it brings, is a good thing for a lawyer, for a doctor, or for a business man, it is an even better-thing for an architect. Probably no profession requires greater breadth...
