...banana republic anything can happen but the most unusual thing is for a President to put the country's constitution above his own personal interests. Last week Costa Rica's President, handsome, large-nosed Leon Cortes Castro, did the unusual. He squelched the suggestion of his supporters that he ignore the Constitution and succeed himself in office when his first four-year term expires in May 1940. Said President Cortes: "I will never . . . convert myself into a tyrant...
...Court's opinion was a copyright case with a unique twist. In 1932 Pearson and Allen put out their second book, More Merry-Go-Round, which contained, among other things, the statements that Justice James Clark McReynolds was "Apparently . . . both stupid [and] lazy," and that "for a man of his sheer ugliness of disposition he has come far."

At the same time, Picasso's previous work has begun to emerge from the smoke...
Cubism was an invention of the same mind nind that put roller skates on the Máagan tortoise. In 1909, in the village of Horta, near Saragossa, in Aragon, Spain, Picasso painted a series of pictures of jumbled roofs and houses which suggested to him a whole new method. Liking nothing so Puch as new methods, on his return to Paris he went to work on it. Cezanne had patiently toiled for years to realize on canvas the solidity of air and landscape by means of delicately placed little patches and planes of color. Cubism put roller skates...
