...only a few months since Caillaux, a hawk-nosed, bald-pated man with an aristocratic bearing and a pair of dark, shrewd, inquisitive eyes, was liberated from the banishment to which he was sentenced in 1920 by the Senatorial High Court (TIME, Dec. 1). He immediately went to Paris and began forthwith to pull political strings. He reminded the enthusiastic Radicals and Socialists who greeted him as a prodigal son that he was and always has been a moderate Republican. It was a shrewd bid for power, for Caillaux knew that he could never appear before the Senate with...
...Significance. Mr. Lewis once had a romantic twist (see Free Air, The Trail of the Hawk, The Job). Then discontent plagued him sore. He pickaxed through Main Street, spitted Babbitt. Now, slightly relieved but no whit satisfied, he hammers out a harsh heroism and lays it, hissing hot, to the flabby flank of Medicine. While he is thus occupied, his fancy is caught by a realist's dream of fair woman - wry little Leora. The satire is swift, sure, great in its age, and Leora, being of life, will outlive...

He has all the best property, none of the better instincts. Colonel Oliver Perry Morton Hollis and his dark, haughty daughter, Ruth, represent the town's historical background. They have the better instincts, but their property is bred out.

The rest of the play shows how mainly through force of circumstances the good is gradually crushed out until according to the old prophesy "the Black Hawk dies twice, once for God and again for the world...
High winds rushed through the heavens where Illinois waited on her own field for Iowa. When Iowa came, Red Grange rushed like the winds, sweeping his fellows nearer to the Big Ten championship. Though keenly watched by hawk-eyed Iowa ends, Grange scored two touchdowns in the first period, arranged for a third, threw two passes that gained 86 yards. For Iowa, Quarterback Parkin, of Yale Bowl fame (1922), played stiff breeze to Grange's hurricane. Score: Illinois 36, Iowa...
