...impression here conveyed is that these happenings have no channel through which they may reach the outside world as news. Yet those "happenings which affect the outside world", those "discoveries of Harvard scientiests" which are of interest to outsiders have been the subject of numbers of releases by this office to the public, as for instance Professor Shapley's announcement of the discovery of the center of the universe, or the acquisition of the Nelson letters by Widener Library. One hundred and twenty-one releases of Harvard news have been given to the press since October...

Later, he sponged pants, coats in a Manhattan tailoring shop. Still later he cut out cloak and suit patterns for $17 a week. Twenty-five years ago, when feature pictures were...
...reporters who wanted to know what the N. G. L. meant, exactly, by announcing that the Bremen and Europa would be "five-day boats."* Goaded, Herr Stimming barked: "I mean that the Bremen and the Europa will cross from America to England within five times 24 hours ! They will reach Germany within six times 24 hours after they leave New York."
