...murder victims were able to put up such strenuous resistance to their attackers on some occasions, Dr. Magrath revealed that it is difficult to kill a person instantly by a blow on the head unless administered with a weapon capable of actually damaging the brain.

...every association is, so far as a layman can see, a legal replica of the Sugar Institute. If Lawyers Fly & Rice, who are directed by Attorney General William De Witt Mitchell and U. S. District Attorney George Z. Medalie, win their case, a victorious Government is likely to proceed, hammer & tongs, against dozens of associations. Thus the case may disturb a larger proportion of industry and commerce. It is in no way similar to many of the anti-trust suits pending which in-clude criminal actions against racketeers charged with intimidating competitors...

...eternal, saccharine romance he spows forth. He is so tired of strewing roses from the CRIMSON Building to Sever 11 for English or Greek professors to tread upon as they go to deliver a lecture on the "Use of the Infinitive in Chaucer," or "The Place of the Hammer in the Building of the Wooden Horse." It requires all his alchemy to turn such prosey matter into palatable pap for the undergraduate. The sweet, sad music of humanity has suddenly become rather blatant jazz. And in, addition all this about the Vagabond wandering as he listeth with...
