...Davis, who has spent almost three years at Manila, wanted to join his invalid wife in Paris and "get a little rest." Sixty minutes after his resignation President Hoover, as everyone expected, nominated Governor Theodore Roosevelt of Porto Rico to be Governor General of the Philippines. In Washington, Col. Roosevelt declared he was "very deeply grateful." Most Porto Rican politicos felt the same...
...suffered two heart attacks in 24 hours. Doctors insisted that for the sake of his health he must give up the Foreign Ministry. Brer Briand glories in the fact that probably no Foreign Minister since Metternich wields the international influence that is his. He had the figure of invalid, politically impotent Raymond Poincare before his eyes.

For the orthodox Catholics, for the Nestorians, it was a long, tedious struggle. In the very first session Nestorius was anathematized, deposed, excommunicated. But Emperor Theodosius declared the session invalid, since Nestorius had been deposed unheard. At length Emperor Theodosius gave in, and in the summer of 431 the council, satisfied that Nestorius was a rank heretic, went home. Heretic Nestorius died in misery in Egypt, "his tongue devoured by worms" (presumably cancer of the tongue); his adherents dwindled...
