...feeling there was little politically new in the President's Cleveland address. His refrain about the Depression: "Let no man say it could not have been worse." The President fought back the Democratic charge that the U. S. and its stock speculations were responsible for the 1929 crash, stuck doggedly to his claim that worldwide forces were to blame. He insisted Governor Roosevelt* had wilfully ignored such factors as ''the greatest war in history . . . the killing or incapacitating of 40,000,000 of the best youth of the earth . . . the harsh treaties which ended...

It was fun to be cantankerous and crotchety, teaching Harvard men to write good prose, scaring them when they were late or noisy. The scaring sometimes stuck, too. Shambling Heywood Broun once went. up to Cambridge to report a game. He planned to leave directly afterward to get his copy back to New York. He wished to visit "Copey" so he went to Hollis 15 in the morning. His old Professor waved him out querulously: "Go away...
