...Crimson's action reassured the 230,200 ticket holders for the Radcliffe quadrangle fracas, who had all but despaired of seeing the heralded clash of the aeons when the bombshell of professionalism in the ranks of the Journalist burst into the public eye. By the time that the public had wiped its eye clean it could plainly see Billion J. Wingham, mahatma of the college league, pointing an accusing finger southward to the shores of Lake Carnegie...
Godlike Voice. Christiansen gets along with people. His journalist's creed is simply: "People, people, people!" This formula, plus his enormous energy, made him editor of Lord Beaverbrook's flamboyant Express at 29. In his first year, 1933, he raised the circulation 160,000, made the Express the world's biggest daily. And he has kept it there ever since.

Indignant Dutch critics accused Conductor Ignaz Neumark and his 86 state-paid musicians of "lack of discipline and inadequate rehearsing." But nothing had gone awry with the orchestra, only with the soloists. Dutch journalist Henri van Eysden had an explanation. The astonishing amnesia of two soloists in one evening could be explained only by the kind of foul play that Novelist Du Maurier put Svengali up to in Trilby. It was all the fault of a Dutch building contractor who practiced hypnosis and mental telepathy as a hobby...
