...buzzards that soar over St. Louis, Mo., were perplexed last week. No idle fliers themselves, they were obliged to alight now and then, to eat, to drink, to sleep, or just to consider with angry red eyes the creature, much bigger than a buzzard, which droned around in circles through the sky all through one week, all through the next week, on into another week, without ever coming down. Now and then another big creature would roar up from the ground and hover solicitously over the soaring one, evidently feeding it or something through a long hose. Other creatures would...
Outgoing President William Sydney Thayer, 65, Massachusetts-born, Harvard-taught Baltimore physician and poet, put a valedictory damnation on legislation which seeks to govern "what we may or may not eat or drink, as to how we may dress, as to our religious beliefs or as to what we may or may not read."

His subsequent contributions would have revealed him, to any between-lines-reader, as: a fatalist; a hedonist conscious of women, tobacco, liquor; a bad golfer; a married man whose thoughts sometimes stray afield; a middle-aged married man whose thoughts always return homeward. Wilfred J. Funk dutifully summed himself up, in fact, in his opus...
...hits a ball so hard. Whenever she can she practices with a man, because "it is the best training, the men are naturally more strong, though not always so deft" Her training is strictly a personal matter. She dislikes to think of people reading of what she likes to eat (string beans, chocolate ice cream) and drink (milk). About her other likes and dislikes she is less reticent. Yellow is her favorite color (see cover). Telephone books are her pet aversion. It is hard for her to find numbers because she does not know her alphabet very well...
