...happened in the quiet dust-laden corriders of Widener late last spring. Immersed in ruminations about the profoundest of themes the famous Professor of English was leisurely wending his way along the scholastic labyrinths when his wandering eye lit upon the figure of a man proceeding him through the corridor and, horror or horrors, the man's head was not bared in accordance with the tenets of convention but boldly, jauntily attired with a felt hat.

...cannot adequately express our feelings of profoundest regret at the deplorable occurrence, when an aeroplane bearing our advertisement most unexpectedly appeared during the ceremony on the occasion of the opening of the Tunnel by Their Majesties the King and Queen.

Editorially the Journals were equally exciting. They flayed Tammany and the Trusts, boomed Bryan, whanged McKinley, eagle-screamed at Spain until they brought on war. Hearst. getting himself commissioned an ensign, leaped pantless from his launch at the battle of Santiago, rounded...
...Profoundest aim of Russia's Piatiletki (FiveYear Plans) is to change human nature. To transform drudgery-begrudging serfs into enthusiastic labor "shock-troops"' might seem a big enough ambition, but U.S.S.R. plans go deeper than that. The Communist gospel is in truth a religion-a religion that teaches its adherents a new morality, and no good Communist is happy till he gets it. Most U.S.S.R. novels have been propaganda for the Communist State; Author Romanof's is propaganda for the Communist Individual...
