...first result of this action was to relieve the Japanese bluejackets who for two weeks have been attacked in Shanghai and to save the 3,500,000 non-combatants in Shanghai from immediate danger. For the first time in a fortnight there were normal crowds in the streets. In the International Settlement urbane escapists sat in battered bars and scarred nightspots without fear of having their highball glasses blown from their fists...
...work any land but their own. Last week, gaunt, rag-clad peasants, enraged at individuals who profited by delivering foodstuffs, took to barring the roads, overturning market trucks, destroying farm produce.

The individual members of the Council are not necessarily "big men on the campus." The only way to be a big man on the Harvard scene...
...France's smartest young politicians. He has held the post of Air Minister off & on since 1933. His biggest feat was the merging of five unimportant airlines into potent Air France. Last week his prestige from this achievement was, temporarily at least, forgotten as the result of a fiasco which has been in the making for a year and last week attained its climax...
