...Szolnok, Hungary, terrified peasants besought the local mayor to avert continuance of the recent catastrophic rains throughout Europe (TIME, July 12) by ordering the removal of "all ill omened radio aerials." Scientists talked learnedly of sun spots. Rain fell...
...York Herald Tribune aimed widest, fell shortest. With invincible puerility it secured from some 24 writers-five of them widely famed-lists of "their personal choice of the immortal dozen" writers casually alluded to by Kipling.

Kaplan administered a long left hook. The Italian fell down, got up. Kaplan applied an other left to the body. The Italian fell down. It was obvious that he could rise no more, but at that instant the loud and insistent ringing of a bell informed his sup porters that the round was over and that it behooved them...
