...Tercentenary year. From the days of Mistress Eaton, when scandals of hasty-pudding and beer rocked Harvard to her foundations, to the clanking of the guillotine in the Lowell House courtyard last spring, it has been axiomatic that this college battles as well as travels on its stomach. The mechanical men of Mr. Westcott's organization lack the human touch, and the call for an endowed chair in food tasting grows ever louder. Such a bequest would be a noble contribution for Harvard's Anniversary year...
Much as he would like the Democratic Presidential nomination for himself, much as he dislikes the New Deal, Georgia's Governor Eugene Talmadge has no stomach as yet for a tilt with Franklin Roosevelt at Georgia's ballot boxes.

Obviously with a feeling in the pit of his stomach, Foreign Minister Flandin sought to appease the Wilhelmstrasse by offering to submit the Franco-Soviet Pact to The Hague Court to discover whether it violates the Locarno Pact. In the Chamber he urged ratification halfheartedly, almost apologetically. Bleating that the object of the Pact is "not to encircle Germany," he added with a French twist, "It is only the spirit of aggression which is to be encircled by this pact! It has been signed in the absence of Germany with regret for her absence and in the hope...
