...enjoyed this jest better than ponderous, granitic Roman Catholic Pierce Butler. The man who died alone in Washington's Garfield Memorial Hospital last week was as solid as arctic ice, but a friend to his friends, an honest foe to his foes, a tender father to his incurably ill daughter Margaret. Legends accumulated around softer men, not around Pierce Butler-except about his enthusiastic, notorious golf (he never broke 110), which he endured with almost masochistic resignation...
...Germans to get puppet Protectorate President Dr. Emil Hacha on the air with a broadcast suited to Nazi tastes. Apparently he at first refused to speak, and this silence was explained away in Berlin by the Fiihrer's own newspaper, which said that Dr. Hacha was seriously ill and was not expected to leave his bed for a long time.

If, for example, he wishes to portray a sick person, he will place in his painting the images and distorted ideas which pass through the mind of an individual who is ill; Fear will be hovering above the person's head and the bed upon which he is resting might be transformed into the automobile he was driving when an accident occurred. All elements of natural law and human reason are distorted. In many respects, Futurism is quite similar to Sur-realism...
