...vote to allow the bill to squeak through and become law by the President's signature. The grizzled, grim President, who apparently knows and sees all in German politics, neatly bud-nipped this plan. Summoning the Centrist leader, Dr. Heinrich Briming, he pounded his desk with his gnarled fist, announced that unless the Young Plan was ratified by a majority large enough to show unmistakably that the Reichstag stood behind the government, the entire cabinet of Chancellor Hermann Muller would resign. Impressed, the Centrists voted. Then President von Hindenburg signed the bill and, further to calm public opinion, issued...
...currently. Despite his expert knowledge, Critic Chotzinoff permits himself even here no sidestepping into erudite analysis of Beethoven's music. His book is frankly fiction, tells vividly the story of the pock-marked man who never in his life found satisfaction save in music, who died shaking his fist at the unknown.

Allowing the burglar to run out of the house, Dr. Partos returned upstairs to reassure Mrs. Partos who observed the burglar fleeing into Central Park. In his haste he had left his coat, hat and shoes in the house, was running madly in his stocking feet...
...squat Uzcudun had of staying away from them, cheered when, in the first round, Uzcudun spread his legs to keep from falling. After that Uzcudun kept his chin on Von Porat's chest and his elbows in front of his own jaw. Suddenly an elbow would straighten, a fist appear, whirl through the air, land on flesh. Paulino's prestige has been dimmed by recent drubbings handed out by Max Schmeling, Tuffy Griffiths. His victory leaves the heavyweight situation more muddled than ever...
