Rather, "to end banditry" and make parks and streets safe for all, the LaGuardia and Dewey team deserves to be sent in with a large majority...
...Harvard came into its own on Saturday. Although it seems entirely superfluous to point this out after everyone who has followed the football team knows that Harvard now need never again smile apologetically when the gridiron sport is mentioned, though everyone gets slightly sick at talk of a moral victory, nevertheless it would be carrying indifference several steps too far to overlook what did happen in the Baltimore Municipal Stadium...
