Abrupt and militant, it knocked into a Red soldier's turnip-shaped helmet the soothing assertions by Soviet publicists in recent weeks that Russia's leaders have abandoned the objective of her late, great Dictator Nikolai Lenin: to foment "the World Revolution of the Proletariat" by every practicable means including, when advisable, intervention by the Red Army. Order No. 173 is specific. It instructs every Red Army commander "to train each Red Soldier to be devoted in heart and in soul to the World Revolution of the Proletariat." The issuing of such an order at such a time...
...seal of approval on them, and the Pre-Raphaelites were made. From Oxford came Edward Coley Burne-Jones and William Morris to follow the new star.

Then red-helmeted Hopping slammed his pony unchecked into rangy Boeseke, rolled him to the ground and his pony over him. With a twisted right ankle, Boeseke played on. A foul was called and the West scored its first goal. For five periods the West kept within striking distance. But formidable Rube Williams...
...reception by the Army band at the Union Station. The bowlegged little Prince with curly whiskers first called at the White House wearing a two-foot shako of lion's mane. A large crowd awaiting General Italo Balbo cheered him by mistake. Day later, wearing a pith helmet, he returned to lunch with the President. His soft Amharic had to be interpreted.
