...made president emeritus when his four-year term expired. Fond of publicity, Preston Bradley gets it not only by preaching, reviewing books in his pulpit every Wednesday, making speeches nightly-his schedule for paid appearances extends into next March-but by such activities as serving on Illinois library, prison and school boards. Last year 10,000 Chicagoans signed a petition requesting him to seek the Republican mayoralty nomination to run against Mayor Kelly. Dr. Bradley said he preferred to round out 25 years with Peoples Church, from which he has been absent (because of illness) only five Sundays...
Beetle-browed King Harman was exiled by the British Government in 1933 after a reign of eight years on his cold granite island twelve miles north of the Devon coast. His exile was spent in Wormwood Scrubs prison, where he served 18 months for misappropriating the funds of Chosen Corp., Ltd., a holding company for Korean mining stocks. His only previous brush with the law occurred in 1931, when a Devonshire Court fined him ?5 for coining Lundy money in the form of 50,000 "puffins"' and "half puffins" bearing his own likeness and that of Lundy...

Lenin's letters begin in 1895, when he was a 25-year-old lawyer and already a fledgling revolutionary. Little less than a year later he writes from a Petersburg prison, awaiting his long journey to three years in Siberia. Krupskaya, arrested later, was allowed to join him there. They were married, but when Lenin's term was up she still had a year to serve. Lenin's first letter to her after their separation is a lengthy dissertation on intraParty politics. When Krupskaya was released she joined Lenin's exile in Europe...
