...ring in his voice mounted as he shouted the words, each a separate challenge. "Preserve" "Protect" and "Defend." "SO HELP ME GOD!" he added with sacerdotal solemnity. Act IV was Franklin Roosevelt's second inaugural address, an address which presented no program, no plans but the activating sentiment of the New Deal. The rain beat a tattoo in the microphones and twice the President wiped the water from his face as he unfolded his burden: "In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens-a substantial part of its whole population-who at this very moment...
...times. In the long run the government will be the chief beneficiary of the work done by School of Public Administration, and must cooperate with it, both by assisting with the teaching program and providing openings for the small group of graduates.

...found snow in which to ski and rub the protesting faces of their loves. And all to the great irritation of the Vagabond, shouting a Happy New Year. Then and there he makes a solemn vow never to wish more than one such felicitation. Repetition strains the worth of sentiment. Besides, the wisdom of being happy about the New Year is doubtful. Better to wish a Happy Mid-Year's or a Merry Reading Period... The Vagabond ambles aimlessly, until he meets with a Radcliffe friend... A story of the Radcliffe freshman who, in the act of stealing an extra...
