...Allied countries, during the War, a doctrine was widely accepted that it is rightful to employ any weapon or method of warfare whatsoever against an enemy who adopts atrocious weapons or methods first. This doctrine of "rightful reprisals" was made last week the basis of a five-volume defense of German War practices. Onetime Minister of Justice Dr. Johannes Bell presented the report, entitled "International Law In the World War" to the Reichstag. The five volumes represent seven years of labor by a "nonpartisan" board of German scholars appointed by the Weimar Constitutional Assembly (1919). The Committee concludes that...
...Significance of Author Woolf's last novel, Mrs. Dalloway, was that her "stream of consciousness" method was not only startlingly original but startlingly successful as well. Mrs. Dalloway observed the classic unities of drama, concentrating on one woman, one day in her life.

Example: "According to Dr. Max Hartmann . . . there is no such thing as absolute sex. If 60% of your cells are masculine you rate as a male...
...agreement of Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth to entrust the selection of football officials for their major contests to an independent disinterested authority will undoubtedly be brought up and ratified at a meeting of athletic representatives from the leading colleges of the East in New York this evening. Such a method of selection has been in vogue in the Western Conference for some time where the officials for the Big Ten games are chosen by a man without connections with any of the universities...
...advantages of such a method of selection are apparent. In the past it has been the general custom to have the rival coaches select their own officials, thus indirectly, and sometimes directly, exerting an influence upon the temper of the official's judgment. The small college has often maintained that it was the victim of unfair decisions solely because the official was dependent upon the larger university for continued employment. Under the proposed plan, the criticism will be impossible, for it will provide a background which will be entirely free from favoritism--Cornell Daily...
