Many consider the newly proposed calendar a needlessly confused system. To speak of thirteen months, no one of which has more than twenty-eight days, would seem to be "a most ingenious parodox." Children need no longer waste their idle kindergarten hours learning that "thirty days hath September--" or that leap year comes only once in four. This would mean a simplified education in perfect harmony with the modern tendency among older people to master the French language in a dozen lessons from a correspondence school...

He is soon to be taught that cigarettes discolor the fingers and that whiskey makes noses read, which...
...saved the Revolution. This, in the eyes of many people, is the one great crime of the Bolsheviki, but if it were not for them, the Czar and all his train would have returned and a White Terror would have resulted to make the Red Terror look like a kindergarten game. There would have been a civil war against the peasants to regain land innumerable pogroms against the Jews, and the worst tyranny in modern history would have been restored. For what the Bolsheviki did all posterity will thank them...
