...friendship with its No. 1 manager, Cornell's famed Professor George Frederick ("Rubber Dollar") Warren. Lately he has reverted to Republicanism. Still bone-dry in sentiment, he permits the editors of his individual papers to accept beer and liquor advertisements at their own discretion, notes with delight that none is so indiscreet as to do so. A boyhood job as barkeep's assistant in a hotel taught Publisher Gannett to say: "After watching booze ruin men, I made up my mind that if I ever got a chance I would fight...
Japanese businessmen's naive delight over an Occidental War was perfectly natural. The World War was, to Japan alone among major belligerents, just one huge slice of cake.

Everything progressed splendidly as he checked up on the Cambridge moral weakness, its religious facilities, and its influences. Even the appointment with the dean, the next to last item on his list, passed off without a hitch. "Now, this father said, as he rose to leave, "I've only...
...reasonably faithful and less likely to arouse squeals of affected agony from literary hair-splitters than any other recent effort of its kind. Considered on its own merits as a picture, it is the liveliest in which Greta Garbo has appeared since Mata Hari and should on this account delight millions of cinemaddicts who have never of Tolstoy and could not spell out his stories if they had. Good shot: Vronsky's first glimpse of Anna, through steam blowing across her face from the engine of the train...
