...wind and sleet driving outdoors and a tall amber glass at their side, their thoughts turn naturally to football. Obeying the dictum which is being laid down for all loyal alumni of the great American halls of learning, they don't say outright what's on their mind. None but the less uncultured of them, the ones who didn't get full benefit from the ivy, cloistered walls of Brown, say right out, "Let's get rid of this guy McLaughry...

Even humans had ascended Shiva Temple, as primitive tools and ornaments attested. Eight days after the expedition began Mr. Andrews came down to admit that none of the specimens was "spectacular." Leader Anthony, however, thought he detected a "pale characteristic" in the animals-for example, a grey stripe in the chipmunks-and unusually "xerophytic" plants.* The mosquitoes, he said, seemed to have forgotten how to bite. But among nearly 100 animal specimens collected there...
