...Curry has snared him into tacit support of Dr. O'Brien; on the other, Mr. Schurman is peppering him as a black deceiver, not to be endured in any of his works and pomps, uninterested in good government or indeed in anything but the governorship. What assault he will suffer at the hands of his real victim, Mr. LaGuardia, remains to be seen, but it is clear that he cannot but emerge from the New York campaign as that most inexcusable of offenders in a democracy, the man of mystery, the friend of none and the suspect...
...take more business from the merchants in the Square. A large part of the restaurant business was taken when the House dining hall system went into effect. By creating University parking facilities such as are maintained by many other institutions, it is felt that the public garages would suffer a tremendous loss of business and thus cause the University a great deal of unnecessary trouble.

But, this year Hopper is off hobnobbing with the "little brothers" of the Russian steppers and Government 18 is in the hands of others...
...move, like a James Branch Cabel Wotan, in a Valhalla of their own making. Not that they are much given to Walkuere-Quite the reverse. But they are absolute in their own spheres, they have the prerogative, a sort of vail as compensation for the numerous inconveniences which they suffer in their office, of doing much as they please. They may flick cigarettes from the mouths of undergraduates who violate the no-smoking rules, or bash in the felt crown of impolite sophomores, with equal impunity. Of course, they run a risk of embarrassment in case they abuse their privileges...
