...methods used were frightening and irresponsible. The obstructionist actions had obviously been well planned; and they had been worked out over a long period of time as could easily be seen from the infamous way in which the chairman himself had been involved. The way in which this serious study group was broken up in what can only be described as a type of "mob" violence, on however limited a scale, is a very black mark against almost any student body, in continuance of their liberal tradition, will themselves respond to this threat and will prevent a recurrence of tonight...
...inadvisability of serving firewater to Indians. Uncouth and boorish fellows are partially restrained by the high prices set by the international liquor cartel and the tax policy of the Federal government.

The yellow brick house was built (in 1883) at a cost of $1,732,478.71, principally as a showcase for New York society (the impresario of the older, posher Academy of Music referred to it as "the yellow brewery on Broadway").

Wednesday the market tumbled further, and industrials dropped 5.58 in heavy trading...
...believe that the "haloed band" did not sense what it was in for. Their parties, Lady Diana says, were "dances of death." On one party, on a chartered boat on the Thames, young Denis Anson thought it would be a good idea to take a dip. He was never seen again. Diana held his watch, and later consoled herself that he probably would have been the first to be killed in the war. It was a scene for the historian -one a novelist would hardly dare to invent...
