...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. The professor's composure was, to put it mildly, upset and without a word of warning he swept down upon the hapless figures...

...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. We implicitly believe that every precaution had been taken to prevent such an occurrence.

But we accept full responsibility...

...ermine negligees with hot love-letters stacked around them, "confess all" under the shadow of Science's latest mechanical star-splitter, a device for laying the centuries end to end-so that they will reach from the pearly minarets of wicked Constantinople to the awesome depths of the profoundest ocean abyss yet plumbed by man ! 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.

...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.
