...fought Imperial Russia during the World War, sometimes under their own ensign, sometimes as units-but always distinct units-in the hospitable armies of Imperial Austria. Today such old campaigners as Josef Stalin and Josef Pilsudski can understand each other even hough their dictatorships are different. Both, of course, disclaim being dictators.

...case has taken an unusual turn in that the Grevin Wax Works insist that they possess the only tub in which M. Marat died. They therefore demand that the American disclaim the authenticity of his possession and regard it merely as an eighteenth century bathing device. This the American will not do, for not only has he paid four hundred dollars for his treasure, but also he owns the keys to the room in which the relic was installed. Besides, as the efficiency of such an appliance can in no way compare with that of the creations of today...
