...this is not the whole extent of the Nicaraguans' unsportsmanlike conduct in the latest shooting match. They have transgressed all bounds, for it is hinted they have "received foreign aid". The grossness of this violation becomes immediately apparent when it is considered that only the United States is permitted by the accepted code to do any aiding in South America. Imagine, for instance, how outrageous it would have been if the American colonists, in revolt against England back in the eighteenth century, had appealed for foreign...
...British score, content with mere de facto stabilization of the franc (TIME, Jan. 3, 1927). Therefore Signer Mussolini did well, last week, when he pocketed proud hopes of setting the lira up beside the pound. Italy, a young kingdom with cheap labor for its chief resource, cannot match an accomplishment which is straining even the strong sinews of the British Empire...
Last week in a hotel ballroom, Manhattan, the last two met around a green table to decide the championship of the world. So exact must be the equipment to match the skill of the contestants that the table was electrically heated to prohibit a stone cold surface* deadening the balls...
Schaefer, former champion, son of famed "Wizard" Jake Schaefer, one of the greatest experts of billiard history, led and increased his lead.

Cochran was not unduly proud; once in championship play he ran 407 points. Neither played as well as he knows how. Cochran, stocky, abrupt, lost the world's championship to slim, catlike Schaefer, 1,500 points...
...Symphonophiles the world over know him for a revolutionist, remember his music for its brutality, its stark rhythms. Last week he made his U. S. debut with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra-and a great audience was surprised.* They had expected a bulky, grim-jawed man with personality to match. Instead they saw a frail little person scoot shyly around the orchestra's first-string men and bow his way almost meekly to the piano set out for him. They had expected to hear him play a new concerto which had disturbed and pleased the International Festival for Contemporary...
