...Germany, both official and otherwise, was frankly puzzled. Police were unwontedly vague. No concerted, planned roundup of any suspected group ensued. Arrests in Munich were numerous but unsystematic: the police, evidently not knowing whom to arrest, clapped this & that one into jail-among them two American reporters, Chicago Tribune's Ernest Pope and John Raleigh...
Thanatopsis. When Kaufman & Connelly hit the limelight with Dulcy in 1921, it was as more than rising young playwrights. They were part of a group which, by virtue of talent, wit and hobnobbing together, was coming to dominate the sophisticated Manhattan scene. Their lunch club, the Algonquin Hotel, had waked up one morning to find itself famous, and celebrity-chasers flocked there, as to a play, to observe Kaufman.

Last night's meeting was called specifically for those who wished to protest against the University's discriminatory action. Those...
...oarsmen would naturally be stronger physically than the average men their age, besides getting good food, fresh air, and exercise. However, there was one gratifying fact learned from the investigation; while the life span of the oarsmen has heretofore always been much longer, the life span of the standard group (not oarsmen) during the last few years has been gradually growing longer, so that it now nearly approaches that of the oarsmen. This shows that the life span in general has been increasing...
