...fact, Harvard officials have never in the past evinced any active desire to fight or mitigate the vice which exists in the Square. Their attitude has rather been curiously apathetic, a halting disapproval which has never been vigorous enough to drive them to organized warfare. This apathy has naturally enervated any other groups with vested interests in the problem. Just how the administrative officers have been able to lull themselves into such a pleasant slumber is an interesting question...
...where there followed a tidal wave of voluble riot and disorganized debate. In vain did the group mentality strive to find the fruits of its previous well-ordered labor mirrored in the stormy session that questioned deficit finance, public spending, and even the protagonists' intentions.

His arm was ready to loss in the first ball of today's game in Griffith Stadium, opening the 1939 major...
...condition of the President's arm, unfortunately enough, cannot be taken as assurance that all the other flingers of the nation's pastimes are as well off. For this season in the sport might well be termed the year of the sore-arms, or at least, the year of the question-mark arms.
