...spanked child, a whole Hindenburg would still know how to count armies, and that small armies cannot throw mud at big armies without a disastrous fight. But this much at least can be said: IIorr von Hindenburg has disintegrated sadly, or he is an immortal villian, insincere and stupid to boot. Until his brain is weighed and his letters published, the dilemma must remain...
...professorial branch of Harvard's personnel has long been inclined to regard newspaper publicity not only as vulgar, stupid, and crass, but, so one may conclude from the foregoing, as annoyingly pertinent. It was with poorly concealed intent to touch this inner spring that the CRIMSON inaugurated it's Harvard Portraits. There seems to have been some, misunderstanding: in the course of the past week Professors Burkhard and Morison have been espied, carrying large wads of CRIMSONS under their arms...
Constitutional literalism, strangely enough, has become a great issue with the Southern hinds whose consciences permit the grandfather clauses and the Jim Crow laws, and they are now in full and stupid cry against Judge Lowell.

...wealthy ne'er-do-well. Abby Fane (Carole Lombard) marries Roderick Deane (Gene Raymond) with a very clear idea of what his family's reaction will be. In the course of a prolonged honeymoon, she acquires culture, fashionable boredom, a suspicion that her husband is more stupid than she thought at first. He enjoys being sponged on by his friends, particularly approves of a languid professional punster named Harold Sigrift (Monroe Owsley). Abby badgers Roderick into going to work for his father's firm. When he retires, humiliated by his incompetence, she scandalizes his parents by leaving...
