...from Assab on the Red Sea to cut Ethiopia's only railway near Dire Dawa, (see p. 17), faces obstacles of terrain all but insurmountable. It must skirt the blazing, uninhabitable Danakil Desert, worm its way up jagged mountain gorges, cross fever-ridden swamps. Only chance for quick success depended on bribing the local Ethiopian satrap, Ras Yayou, who styles himself "Sultan of Aussa...
...three men who founded Groton, Billings ("Mr. B.") and Gardner ("Mr. G.") are dead. Endicott Peabody at 78 is as quick of wit and pink of cheek as a man of 60. Every boy and master knows that the Rector misses nothing, that his word is law. Dr. Peabody still coaches one of the intramural crews, still rides horseback. Sometimes Mrs. Peabody rides with him.

But Williams at goal is the class of the league. He gets them, high or low, clears fast, and has plenty of nerve...
...were revealed last week under a Louisiana State law, drafted by Huey Long just before his death, making all RFC transactions with State banks a matter of public record. Confronted with positive evidence, RFC admitted the New Orleans deal, hastily announced sale of the newspaper bonds to Banker Davis. Quick to smell a rat was Delaware's Senator Daniel O. Hastings, who demanded a sweeping investigation of Paul Davis, his bank and RFC's interest in it. Said...
