...recent torrent of discussion and disagreement about future foreign policy has come increasing evidence of the existence of two rather clear-cut conceptions of what course it is most in the interest of the United States to pursue. One course is approved on the whole by the majority of Congressmen coming from west of the Mississippi. The other course has, with exceptions, its most vociferous supporters east of that river. Presumably both groups represent the feelings of their voters. And the division of national opinion rests on different interpretations of present world events...
...Patrick, of the Patrick hockey family, left-winger on Harding's line, stands next to Austie in scoring, with four goals and two assists, a record that was recently augmented by his two tallies against Yale last Friday. And Warren Winslow, who has been holding down the other wing berth on the same line, follows him. Substitute lines have been a big problem for Hodder this year, with most of the teams he has had to face having strong second and third trios. The second line of DeRahm, Eaton, and Cutler, has shown up well in recent games, however...
...Greatest of all Thais strippers was famed Diva Mary Garden, who introduced the part to the U. S. in 1907; last at Manhattan's Metropolitan was tempestuous Maria Jeritza, 13 years ago.

Critics approved Soprano Jepson's singing and her French diction but thought she undressed with a Pennsylvania accent...
...purebred stock and baits the power company for lower electric rates. He has lately installed a one-man photographic and engraving department that feeds his papers shots of local rabbit hunters, sorority initiations, farmers' wives in town to buy perfume. Best-played stories of a typical recent week in the Anderson papers: annual Chamber of Commerce meeting, opening of two new hosiery mills, the tale of a city girl who came to town, scratched her neck with a razor for unrequited love, was arrested as a drunk...
Nobody has ever considered Abe Lincoln a stuffed shirt, but just to make sure, recent biographers have stripped him down to his gaunt ribs. With The Hidden Lincoln, published last year on Lincoln's birthday, Emanuel Hertz identified himself as one of Lincoln's most active denuders. This year, again as a birthday present, Hertz has the grace to throw around Lincoln's bony shoulders a vast mantle of myth. It fits no better than Lincoln's baggy suits did, but as Editor Hertz knows, no editorial tailor will ever be able to fit formal clothes...
