...apricots, juniper (gin) berries. All her officers and able seamen had individual outside cabins amidship. She carried two young stewardesses to feed and amuse her picked crew of young cadets. Even her name KNM (Kim} was chosen for pronunciation by non-Russian tongues. Aside from the motto "Ahead To World's Revolution" inscribed in the crew's game room (equipped with piano and radio) she took every precaution not to offend U. S. sensibilities. Her crew was forbidden to get drunk ashore, and they kicked down the gangplank a loud-mouthed U. S. Red who tried...
...EPIC plan--End Poverty in California. His instruments will be the CAL, the CAP, and the CAM--California Authority for Land, for Production, and for Money. The symbol of EPIC will be the Golden Bee (in contrast to the predatory Blue Eagle of the NRA) and its motto, "I Produce, I Defend."

Occasional tenders of friendship from the students, such as cocktails, or a snifter or two of pre-war Scotch, would also...
...vultures you are! What dirty dogs! What torturers and persecutors!" Still suffering from a broken arm incurred two months ago in Bermuda, Mrs. Dick was carried from the ship on a stretcher, to a hospital in an ambulance. A Cleveland reader who asked Author Gertrude Stein to explain her motto, "rose is a rose is a rose is a rose," printed on her best-selling Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (TIME, Sept. n), received the following reply from Alice B. Toklas (Miss Stein's companion-secretary): "The device rose is a rose is a rose is a rose means...
