Fifty times as big as Denmark is Denmark's only colony, Greenland. (Iceland is an independent kingdom that merely happens to have the same King as Den-mark.) In recent warm summers parties of Norwegian hunters have made frequent trips to East Greenland, built little shack settlements there. The Danish-Norwegian problem first boiled over more than a month ago when a semi-official Norwegian body known as the Arctic Council suddenly announced that Denmark was about to send an expedition to explore East Greenland, sounded an alarm that the time had come for Norway to stake and beflag...
...Nations Secretariat (Chief of the Disarmament Section), then as professor of Spanish Studies at Oxford. Another reason for the vagueness with which most Madrilenos react to the name of de Madariaga is because he is best known as a writer in English. Ambassador de Madariaga is trilingual. He writes frequent magazine articles in French and Spanish, but his most important books have been in English. Politically Ambassador de Madariaga is a complete internationalist, who, perversely enough, does not believe in the advisability of a Federal European Union. At the time his name was first mentioned as Ambassador...
What, if you please, is the drink commonly termed "the lead shot"?

But, being rather sceptical by nature and decidedly curious and feeling that my reputation as a soda fountain connoisseur was at stake, I made rather extensive inquiries, but regret to say that my search was unrewarded, for every storekeeper and proprietor in Exeter answered my demand for Exeter...
...University of Berlin. In lieu of their presence, they sent a report, read by Dr. Alexander Goetz of Caltech, which caused much amazement. In 1927 the two first rigged a wire between two peaks at Monte Generoso, near the Italian-Swiss border. That is a region of frequent and violent thunderstorms. Like Benjamin Franklin, the Germans intended to bring lightning to earth. When the rigging was set and lightning bolted, the emitted sparks jumped a 15-ft. gap. Improved rigging carried lightning sparks which spanned 55 ft. That meant that 16,000,000 volts had momentarily been trapped...
...Frequent allusion has been made during the year to the inadequacy of the medical protection now afforded by the University and the possibility of the establishment of a medical center to house and centralize all the medical services provided and proposed by the authorities. The need for such a medical center has long been evident and it is at present the most urgent demand of the Harvard community...
