Like Mrs. Nation herself, her first biographers tended to take their subject overseriously, as a moral force whose famous hatchet splintered a national institution that was richly deserving of demolition: the saloon.

Fields: His Follies and Fortunes) as well as an incorrigible parodist (The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters) who treats her with the irreverence that...
Bobby Bauer and George Murphy, who tallied 21 and 23 goals, respectively, for last year's 18-2 freshman team, join junior Tag Demment on the third line tonight.

...East Lansing, M.S.U. officials were as irate as campus football fans on a losing Saturday. "A scurrilous and silly hatchet job," said Political Scientist Wesley Fishel, who headed the project from 1956 to 1958 and was "as close as friends can be" with Diem. Fishel conceded that the university knew all about the CIA men. "Anyway, they joined the project on our terms," he said. "While I was there, there was definitely no cloak-and-dagger stuff.
