Presently Father Roosevelt, accompanied by his sons and other members of Harvard's Fly Club, disappeared in a private room to administer to Johnny the secret rites for newlywed brethren. When the time came, Johnny & Anne, their getaway covered by a bulky Secret Service car, set out to the summer home of Brother James's father-in-law, Dr. Harvey Gushing, at Rye Beach, N. H., thence to Campobello Island...
Into the Grand Jury Room in Federal Court in Manhattan last week a puffing G-man lugged a large chart, showing the operations of the spy net which G-men and U. S. Attorney Lamar Hardy have been trying to net since February (TIME, May 30). The hunt began when an American Army deserter of Austrian parentage, brush-headed Guenther Gustave Rumrich, was arrested in a clumsy attempt to steal passport blanks. He promptly implicated several German-Americans in attempts to steal Army aircraft designs and military secrets. Five days after looking at the chart, the Grand Jury returned indictments...
With them goes a roomful of battered furnishings which have made theirs the gayest or the most peaceful room in the whole college; a sheaf of notes--the ones from that certain course which really made them feel they knew something about something, which they couldn't quite bring themselves to throw out after the last exam, and which now represent the sole tangible total of a thousand lectures and a thousand hours in the libraries--their college education in final essence.

This copy, in turn, was fitted into the slots of a Semagraph setter unit attached to an ordinary linotype. With no further aid from human hands, the linotype cast perfect slugs of type ready for the printer...
Born in Cambridge, Mass. in 1894, Poet Cummings first made his literary presence felt with a novel, The Enormous Room (1922), written after he had served in an ambulance unit and as a private in the World War. Readers of the book, which gave some remarkably detailed dirt on life in an internment camp, were aware that something new was loose in the literary world. What it was became only gradually clearer when Cummings published Tulips and Chimneys (1923) and six subsequent volumes of poems. With their peculiar typography, syntax, and use of words, these books struck most first-time...
