...categories: Father's Day. Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Bon Voyage, Yom. Kippur. There are various kinds of congratulatory Western Union telegrams: on Engagement, Promotion, Election, Success of Artist, Making a Speech, Wedding Anniversary, Opening a New Store. Form telegrams can be sent upon ascending Pike's Peak. Mr. Willever is preparing similar ones for Niagara Falls and Atlantic City. Brand new are Western Union "Kiddiegrams," to be sent to children.

...almost entirely responsible for surmounting the obvious obstacles and weaknesses of the play. This reviewer confidently expected a sorry play acted by a cast of second-rate stock-company players, but he was pleasantly surprised.

Designed by Architect John Gaw Meem of Santa Fe, it is massive, severely functional...
...newspapers pulled a series of errors this week-end reminiscent of the balmier days of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Falsely reporting the Senate's resolution to the effect that Congress would welcome foreign governments on Harvard soil September, the journals drew a picture of the University defending with gun and pike the extra-territoriality of the Yard against unwarranted intrusion from above. Fortunately Jerome Greene and the Senate kept their heads above water, for the Senate resolution contains no hint of taking over the Harvard reception committee, but, as Mr. Greene pointed out, is a gracious recognition of the Tercentenary celebration...
