...journalism, and more important: it resulted in the defeat of President Wilson's plans and "broke his heart." However, credit for this scoop should go to Spearman Lewis, managing editor of the Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune, and not to my close and dear friend, Frazier Hunt, who died recently [Jan. 5]. Hunt was asked by Lewis to take the treaty to Chicago, and Hunt smuggled it through customs. Lewis negotiated for weeks to get the treaty, and pledged his word never to reveal the facts.

Twice they nudged it with the digger arm. No luck. All it did was swing a bit. Then they tried again, using the arm to steady...

Like Disney's other adaptations of children's classics, The Jungle Book is based on the Kipling original in the same way that a fox hunt is based on foxes. Nonetheless, the result is thoroughly delightful...
What keeps a man and his soap apart for so long? Bad but heavily significant puns. Long scatological accounts of constipation that add up to a plain case of logorrhea. Recurring signs and symbols planted like a Freudian scavenger hunt. Above all, the metaphysical pseudo-Joycean rhetoric of a sometime poet, sometime screenwriter from Hollywood ("The mind is a revolving snowflake out of the backblackward...
