...seldom accepts invitations to dinner, and even in Stockholm has become rather a legendary figure. Over the door of his office is a carved torch. In addition to his office, he has also a silent room, to which only he and the janitor have keys and in which he must not be disturbed. Unostentatious, he is not incapable of an occasional princely gesture. For example, he one day lunched with two U. S. visitors who complained that the late spring had deprived them of an opportunity to see the countryside aglow with Sweden's famed roses. Herr Kreuger asked...
...Armstrong has long planned to anchor his first full-size seadrome midway between Manhattan and Bermuda. Studying hydrographic charts of the region he figured that there must exist a high spot on the ocean floor about where he would like it.

Humanitarians recall that during Leon Delacroix's two years as Prime Minister he wangled through Belgium's obstreperous Parliament the eight-hour day, universal suffrage, tax reform and the temperance law.* After...
...Well, frankly," said Vicar Hornsby, "I must say I do not regard John Peel as a hero, and I deplore his exaggerated and legendary reputation as a hunter. I ask you whether slaughtering thousands of innocent foxes is sufficient reason for exalting a man when nothing else can be put to his credit...
