...baldheaded, bejowled J. J. Healey, doorman. Said he: "Yes, myself. Years ago a woman broke my heart and ran away. I got a job in front of this museum, knowing that some day she will pass this door, and when she does, I'm going to break her jaw...
...never safe to leave one-armed Jose Clemente Orozco long in the presence of large undecorated wall spaces. Artist Orozco, whose jutting jaw and glittering glasses make him look not unlike an ecstatic bullfrog, is, like his friend and compatriot Diego Rivera, one of the most important mural painters in the Americas, an avid reviver of the art of true fresco. Few months ago he lectured before Dartmouth College's Department of Art. Dartmouth's chief pride is a new Georgian library, gift of the late George Fisher Baker.

...Welzl wangled wood from whaling boats, finally imported provisions from Alaska. Soon he was rich enough to buy a $100,000 share in a trading boat. Tales of his adventures in New Siberia and elsewhere, an account of the Eskimos' extraordinary way of life, his own election, under the jaw-cracking title Moojok-Ojaak, as Chief of New Siberia, wind up his undreamed of, not incredible, romance of fact...
