...George Gardner, captain of the cross country team, who has just recently come out for winter track, and can't be in decent shape before the Exeter Meet. For this reason Roswell Brayton and Fred Hinman, both veterans of the cross-country season, will attempt to show their stuff to the detriment of the Andovers, and may do well...
...excoriated him as a monstrous despoiler of honored graves. Discovering that the Nye committee was almost out of funds, they promised to oppose granting it another dollar (TIME, Jan. 27). When the Senate sound & fury had died down, historians quietly pointed out that the Nye charge was: 1) old stuff, having been discussed in print since 1922; 2) quite probably true, in the judgment of competent scholars.

In horses he has the same taste and the number of ebullient horses which have fallen with His Majesty, spraining his ankle, breaking his collarbone, once kicking him squarely...
What determined little Japanese Foreign Minister Koki Hirota smokes is no peace pipe. Although His Excellency is a civilian, Japan's wary militarists have come little by little to the conclusion that here at last is a Japanese diplomat of their own stuff. They freely declared to foreign correspondents in Tokyo last week their "regret" that the death of King George must have largely crowded out of the world press the "historic" address delivered last week to the Japanese Diet by suave but hard Mr. Hirota...
