...there are one or two elements, which, unless carefully managed, will be apt to disturb, at least temporarily, that beautiful peace which has hitherto blessed the Republican campaign. Mr. Hoover is, of course, assured of his re-nomination, an event which will climax the proceedings on Thursday. But the choice of a running mate is as yet a trifie less certain. The president, to be sure, would retain his present partner, but Mr. Curtis, aside from his advanced age of 73 years, is politically in-acceptable to many party leaders. There has already been much foolish talk about Mr. Coolidge...
...operation has infected her and she is doomed. Gradually the household betake themselves to bed and Authoress Dix reviews them as they lie, wrapped in their several irremediable miseries. With a Chekhovian eye for the follies and pettinesses that have jockeyed her characters into their blind alleys, Authoress Dix, hitherto a writer of juvenile books, has not the Chekhovian restraint to leave them there, to wither or to work their way out.

Norton, professor of Applied Mechanics...
...evidenced through the whole extent of the writer's work. Previous Meyer-Investigators, notably Brecht, d'Harcourt, and Faesi, have arrived rather by deductive means, at conclusions suggesting this, for example Faesi's statement that artistic creations may be either image or counterpart of their creator; but no scholar hitherto has advanced so logically from detail to totality, and none has formulated as precisely this ultimate answer to the problem, as the author of this book. Not that Meyer was the spirit of an Italian condottiere in the body of a burgher of the humdrum Swiss nineteenth century, but that...
