...Haven daughter, regardless of how blue she was, had yet to show gratitude to her crimson mother. As is the case with these filial things, its expression required maturing. It came, finally, in 1928 when a son of Yale, Mr. Harkness, walked into President Lowell's office with a present of seven Houses, truly a noble return for Harvard's part in bringing Yale to life. A decade later the seven Houses are as meaningful and vital as the six handkerchiefs (one of them still lies in the archives). And our teams, all of them, will show how proud...

Enforced by a reign of terror reported second only to that of the French Revolution, the Nazi demands show a desire to return the Jewish people to the days of the Ghetto...
...story concerns the difficulties encountered by one Harry Quill, a rug salesman with a yen for old time vaudeville, in putting on the annual show for his lodge. After assembling a collection of moth-eaten variety artists, one-time headliners but now hovering on the brink of the Borsch circuit, Quill encounters opposition in the form of Tropp, chancellor of the Lodge, who calls the whole thing off because Quill won't let Mrs. Tropp sing three Schubert Songs to infuse tone into the entertainment.
