...provide for the Instruction of Youth, and for the Promotion of Good Education" was passed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1789. The following paragraph from this law, which applied to Harvard University, is still in force...
...Chicago Daily News, which Stuffy joined in 1944, the legend soon grew that Stuffy would throw out any sentence of more than 14 words. It was true that the News's new editor liked choppy prose, especially in the lead paragraph. Too long, said Stuffy to a reporter who had proudly tendered an eight-word first paragraph for a story about economic conditions: "Will there be a boom or a bust?" After repeated tries, the reporter boiled it down to one word: "Boom?" This was followed by a second one-word paragraph: "Bust?" The third paragraph was a shade...

While the 1876 collection gave rise to unallayed pleasure, perusal of its descendant was attended by a palpable malaise, varied only by sharp twinges of pain. In the first place, it seems inexcusable for the Advocate to print the work of a professional poet, Pulitzer Prize winner, Peter Viereck. In addition, the piece itself (scene 9 of a new play) is a clearly...
