Married veterans, if they were fortunate, got themselves a room or several rooms in nearby homes, such as those of the Faculty. Others are living in the inevitable Quenset Huts several blocks from the center of the University. How rough this life is or isn't varies undoubtedly with the individuals concerned, but a definite ray of light was east by a New Yorker correspondent recently, who on passing a Quenset Huf and "glaneing through a window, saw a maid in apron and lace-cap briskly shaking up cockfails...
...Arizona had both elected Democratic Senators and Governors. In Colorado, go-getting Democratic State Chairman Eugene Cervi, a onetime Denver Post reporter, had played his cards right and had actually trumped a Republican Governor and Congressman.

His only flaw as a jockey: he sometimes tries to ride cheap horses as if they were stakes horses...
Even by the rough & tumble standards of Mexican revolution, El Indio's life story is amazing. When his father left to join one of the revolutionary armies, Emilio, at nine, became head of the family. Practically at once he shot and killed a man for molesting his mother. Hustled into a reform school, he escaped and joined the revolution himself. He fought under General Carranza against Pancho Villa, was captured, sentenced to die at dawn and escaped from a drunken guard. Later he fought with Obregón against Carranza, then against Obregón for General...
