...high recognition, but we are to presume it is because they make peace at any price. So far the Nobel prizes have not been bestowed carelessly; they have marked great attainments in the field for which they have been given. Never have they been awarded to upstart demagogues, who pose as patriots by disseminating enemy propaganda. If Lenine and Trotzky are to receive a Nobel prize, let it not be branded one given for peace. Rather let it be the Nobel prize for subtle treason, for ingenious treachery, for cold feet. By making ridiculous agrarian land promises to the Russian...

...January number of the Monthly is, despite some falterings, pagan in spirit as well as form. Not only do the faun and Bacchus sport upon the cover, but also there is keen sincerity in the written work. If the contributors are almost always conscious in their pose and if sometimes the strain is over-obvious, this is no fault of theirs: in our world sanity cannot be unconscious...

...limited number are extant; the balance were destroyed when Olivares fell into disgrace in 1643. Though Olivares is younger in the full length portrait now at the Fogg than in the famous equestrian Prado picture, the likeness between the two is striking.
