...Greek follower of St. Paul. Whole books omitted in The Short Bible are Chronicles. Song of Solomon (because non-religious). Lamentations, Obadiah, Malachi. II Peter. II and III John, Jude. Other books are severely edited. Professor Goodspeed found Isaiah hardest to blue-pencil because of its dignity and swift, smooth literary flow.

Senate's Banking & Currency Committee and its Inquisitor Ferdinand Pecora resumed their researches into pre-Crash financial practices of Wall Street last week, the Press and public were apathetic.

Once a friend of Adolf Hitler, he fought beside him in the Munich "Beer Hall Putsch" of 1923, broke away when he suddenly realized that Handsome Adolf was committed...
...first hole she drove badly, took a six. On the fourth, her approach was wild and she took three putts. On the fifth, her iron shot went into a bunker, cost her a 7. She took 44 strokes to the turn to Virginia Van Wie's smooth 37. It left her six down and she was still six down at the 13th green, where the match ended. It set the stage for a final in which Miss Van Wie's opponent for the title she won a year ago was her close friend and houseguest, Helen ("Billie") Hicks...
