...that he could no longer recognize people or places, his friends had the idea of taking him once more to see the Diaghilev Ballet which he had helped to make the world's greatest dancing corps. Only once during the performance did Nijinsky appear to see through the fog. Serge Lifar, a young protégé of Diaghilev, started to dance Le Spectre de la Rose in which Nijinsky did his never-to-be-forgotten leap through an open window. When the music started Nijinsky's dead, dumb eyes suddenly brightened. He turned to his wife...
...friend and money for which to spring him while, as the records show, the criminal prisoner uses friend, money and all other types of schemes to make his escape. Remember, the Golden Gate does not always see the beautiful sunset but is enveloped in a heavy fog a great number of days during the year.

What followed jolted the Highlanders out of their wits. The Hood's davits suddenly swung launches filled with marines over the side. The launches sped into shallow water. Holding their rifles high, the marines jumped into the surf, ran up the beach toward...
...pass on two touching pleas just received. The first is the Seaman's Library asking for unwanted books which might amuse the fog-bound tars. The other is a little chit from the Harvard College Library asking for old cast-offs which might help fill the yawning empty spaces in the stacks and which might amuse the snow-bound graduate students. Instead of having your books sold when you die, why not send them to Widener where they can be disposed of with a nod and a curt "we cannot locate this book now." Unlike the car they...
