...your meaning was. The first impression is that you were endeavoring to whip up public opinion in this country to lend an active hand to England in her fight. The Harvard Crimson in an editorial today has evidently so interpreted your words. More careful reading and more especially my esteem for you make me question the validity of this interpretation. Surely the Church does not wish to send our young men out to kill? That they should risk their lives in a great cause is one thing; to send them out to kill is quite another. We look to leaders...
...record salesman, any music store clerk can tell you that the Beethoven Fifth Symphony is exceeded only by the Tschaikovsky "Nutcracker Suite" and a few others in public knowledge and esteem. The "Fifth" is probably the best known of the so-called "heavier" classical works.

Woodrow Wilson's brain trust, to David Lloyd George, on June 10, 1919. The letter, instantly spotted...
...Uncle Don. When he was a boy (Howard Rice, son of a horseshoe nail salesman), his pals in St. Joseph, Mich, called him "Punk." Now he is a fattish, fiftyish, rheumy-eyed, flashy-dressing showman. As a kid, he learned enough piano chords by ear to get some local esteem as a musician. Because he found he could play the piano standing on his head, he became Don Carney, the Trick Pianist of vaudeville. He got into radio 14 years ago. One day, on a half-hour's notice, he was assigned to do a children's program...
