...Dean Alpine scored for the Crimson, but the varsity's hero was goalie Godfrey Wood. Wood came up with 32 saves, as he turned in the only shutout in the entire ECAC tourney. At the end of the second period, Wood blocked four Colby shots in quick succession to quash the Mules' most serious threat...
...Katanga action may be justified only superficially by anti-colonialism. "The use of force for the apprehension of foreign military personnel and advisers in Katanga," which Hoffmann condemns, was probably necessary to quash Tshombe.

If the deficit is to be reduced, this is the manner in which it ought to be done; Kennedy should quash any more squabbles like those of the last two years as extra-ordinarily irresponsible.

British Author Rex Warner, an old hand at translating Caesar, has set out to fictionize him. In doing so, he carries fondness a step farther and tries to quash the lingering suspicion that Caesar may just possibly have robbed the Romans of some basic freedoms...
