Windrip dissolved Congress, arrested protesting Senators, imprisoned his ally, Bishop Prang, had Prang's rebellious supporters shot, ordered his Minute Men to turn machine guns on crowds. When Doremus wrote an editorial criticizing such statesmanship, he was locked up, his son-in-law was killed, his paper taken over...

Scott answered the challenge and had a one-quarter length lead by the second bridge, but Meigs continued to fight it out with him and was again even at the one-half mile mark...
...richness and beauty of its philosophy and literature. On a carpet woven of these finest thoughts and sentiments of India the Vagabond is thus flying today. It is the "Rig Veda." To those who would be led by this sacred book they will find a journey equal in length to the works of Homer, and in beauty comparable to the Bible. Perhaps in no other literature is the worship of the personified powers of nature so beautifully expressed and faithfully followed. The sun, the mon are as dancing girls, only less fickle of heart. Ushas (the dawn) holds...
