...once in a while a big fish comes along and takes one? No. James marries Maggie and that's the end of it, unless they are divorced, in which case I suppose you will say "James is divorced from the one Maggie." There should be some identifying mark in case he should marry another one Maggie Smith...
...merely one of the six meet record-breaking performances of the afternoon. Stanwood, a former Bowdoin man, did yeoman service for Oxford with records in both hurdle events, Brown's pole-vault, mentioned before, was a record; E. E. Calvin '35, tenacious Crimson sprinter equaled the meet mark with a 9.8 second century run; Jackson of Yale beat out J. H. Dean '34 in the shotput for a clean record; E. I. David, diminutive sprinter clocked a record 220-yard run for the Light Blue; Mabey of Oxford ran a beautiful two-mile race for an easy meet championship...

When it was over the Digest could justly claim that it handled the War better than any other magazine.

His language and actions were equally offensive to his household, consisting of: his nephew's wife (wicked), his stepdaughter (foolish), her husband (weak). They sat around like jackals waiting for him to die, watching their chance to put him in an institution. When they heard...
...Loudest mark of Spanish Republican disapproval came from Rome. One Demetrio Solamon, Egyptian-born and successively naturalized Greek and Spanish, took a train from Madrid to Rome, marched into St. Peter's last week with an old valise, checked it at the central gate, then wandered out into the bright sunlight of St. Peter's Square. Some time later a Fascist militia officer wandered idly about the swarthy man standing near the great obelisk with his fingers in his ears. Almost immediately there was a great dusty explosion. Demetrio Solamon began to run like a rabbit, threw...
