...three starts, as well as dropping most of its other contests. If they take the Indians into camp tonight, and in practice they show enough power to do so, it is almost a sure bet that they will also win the third game of the series and then ride rough-shod over Yale. The Crimson ice-men possess a potential power which, once it begins to click, will easily shove the Green out on the short end of the score...
...penal investigation, whose outcome belongs to Mr. Dillon's superior. Governor Ely is at fault in not having made this distinction, in giving carte blanche to Mr. Hurley and then in refusing to face the implications which that carte blanche contained. whatever adjustment he may make must be a rough adjustment, for particular and general issues must be differently handled, and their fusion in the Auditor's investigation has resulted in making the proper separation impossible...

It is labeled an execution in Kazan. Backed against the rough-hewn wall of a log cabin eleven men, most in underclothes, barefoot, one half-naked, are standing in the snow. The volley (whose echo Authoress Yurlova compares to "an immensely swift flight of pigeons across the yard") has just crashed. The camera's shutter has caught the eleven bullet...
