...minded leader in the Federal Council of Churches. Big and muscular, Dr. Tittle served in the Y. M. C. A. during the St. Mihiel offensive. In 1918 he went to Evanston's smart First Methodist Church, where his sermons-spoken out of the side of his mouth-now draw large congregations...
...lobbies of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars whipped through the Bonus (1924) and forced its part-payment (1931), both over Presidential vetoes.

Primitive reportorial humor is just as acceptable in a newspaper play as hard swearing was in the dugout in "What Price Glory," as bed-room skits in a musical comedy, or scenes from a Turkish bath...
...Philoctetes go to Troy as the command of the gods. So Sophocles satisfied his own principle of the invincible will and at the same time followed the legend. Even in the evening of his days, which must have been shadowed by the approaching ruin of Athens, he could draw with a sure hand the hero embittered by suffering and injustice...
