...David Lloyd George has dined many times at the Savoy but in the interests of accuracy-and the Savoy-it should be stated that on this unfortunate occasion he was dining, not at the Savoy but at the hotel next door, or so every London newspaper reported. This may seem a very trivial rebuke, and so it would be, had not your paragraph unwittingly slandered the one man in London who has looked after the hats and coats of more well-known people than anyone else in the world; and furthermore, in a period of 43 years has never...
...event seems to have been peculiarly unfortunate for the Russian government which seems to be placed between the Scylla of popular criticism at home and the Gharibdis of general disfavor abroad. To let the matter drop would probably not be satisfactory to those in Russia who feel that communism is being threatened.

Then, the casual observer will say, there are the embassies and the light which they throw on affairs throughout the world...
...plan adopted yesterday by the student council at Amherst for the limitation of the activities which may be undertaken by, or thrust upon, any one student in the college, is one more step along the road that many American colleges seem to be travelling. It has been many years now since the constant; grinding strain of extra-curricular activities first began to be commented upon to the disparagement of the colleges which allowed them to rob their students of every moment of their academic leisure. It has been at least as many years since the whole round of these activities...
