Youngest of the legal technicians to be called was Dean Robert Maynard Hutchins, 30. Brooklyn-born, fair of face. Into three decades Dean Hutchins has packed much successful living. On the Italian front he won a Croce di Guerra for U. S. ambulance driving. A Yale graduate of 1921, he captained the debating team, was class orator, achieved prominence without athletics. Two years later while a Yale Law School student he was chosen secretary of the University. His LL.B. came magna cum laude in 1925. In 1927 he was made Dean of the Yale Law School...

Being Chaliapin, the greatest of living singing-actors, he dominated last week as always...
...remained for Mussolini to cap the climax. In the Decalogue of the Young Facist there are incorporated ten commandments that almost reach the magnitude of a Napoleonic gesture. The purpose of these ten requirements is to train good Italians to be good Facists, and if these rules are obeyed, II Duce will have succeeded in resembling Napoleon to an even more gratifying degree. Anticipating some of the difficulties that might arise from the rather unusual sternness of the pronouncement, the Italian youth are not to object to being confined to prison, for the Dictator assures them that any such punishment...
