...crimson flags were already up along Mt. Auburn Street, cars lined the curbs bumper to bumper, and, for once, no one seemed to be carrying any books. The Vagabond began to whistle, stopped once self-consciously, but with a "what the hell," began again, emitting a slightly flat but very spirited "With Crimson in triumph flashing." Vag was prepared to face the world -- this Saturday, the 23rd of November...
...kitchens, hotheaded partisans recently have let the whale-oil lamps burn low while they argued the merits of proud independence on the one hand or Danish protection on the other. Some have even suggested alliance with the U.S. or Britain. But last September, when the Danes offered them a flat choice between full freedom or continued rule, the Faroese, unable to decide, turned down both alternatives.

The jokes had not changed much since, but the imitative style had. In the depression, many became introspective, proletarian, or both; others took to aping Esquire and got suppressed for it. This year most campus editors seemed...
Murphy clients are a dozen-odd industrial VIPs (Westinghouse Electric, Pacific Mills, Columbia Broadcasting) and some 250 individual VIPs who pay a flat fee for the general service. When the clients' star customers, big dealers and other sacred cows turn up in New York, Murphy gives them "the treatment." Usual ingredients: choice hotel rooms, choice train and plane reservations, choice sport and theater tickets, choice Scotch. Says Murphy: "Most people who come to New York on a business trip don't know what the score is. They want a lot of things, but, especially in times like these...
