With about 96 per cent of next year's class already admitted, Elder said acceptances will continue through the summer. If "some mute, inglorious Milton" should appear, he will not be turned away, Elder remarked. "There's always a loophole for excellence at Harvard," he continued...
Lawrence threw. The Man swung. The ball got past Redleg First Baseman George Crowe for a sharp single. For St. Louis fans, it did not seem to matter that the Cards were in the process of losing another game (7-3), that they lay moulting and mute in the cellar of the league. Stanley Frank Musial had hit in 14 consecutive games; he had pushed his lifetime total of hits to 2,986.

The book jacket of his latest collection of miscellaneous pieces says, "There is only one Robert Graves," but this is patently untrue. There are many-the poet, novelist, critic, scholar, mythologist, essayist, general literary pundit and japester. All of them in this thoroughly entertaining volume are in top form...
