...startling figure-bulky, halt, not a hair to disturb the glassy smoothness of his pate, and a bush for a beard...
...convinced that the situation is terrifying or even extraordinary. It does not seem much more sane to find an underlying cause for twenty-six suicides, than to try to prepare vital statistics from twenty-six isolated deaths. Nor are we sure that the percapita suicide pate is higher in colleges now than it was say twenty years ago. It approximates about one suicide to 5,000 students. It is not at all surprising that increase in the gross number of suicides should come with the tremendous increase in the number of students in college. Furthermore, even a per capita increase...
...arrival, one Vivian Burnett, son of Authoress Frances Hodgson Burnett, who with fond motherliness had idealized him in her novel, was the original model for the lacy-collared, golden-curled Lord Fauntleroy, who rankled little boys of another generation.

It left the ring cocked deliriously askew on the black, tight-wooled pate of gold-toothed "Bengal Tiger" Flowers of Brunswick, Ga., onetime psalm-singer. Fight-followers lamented one of the most unpugilistic championship bouts ever held. Greb, reported to be "sodded with night life," had hedged and hesitated, held, butted, thumbed Tiger's eyeballs. Greb had won most of the 15 rounds...
