...party of friends celebrated the end of a week's work at the University of Lwow (pronounced Lvoof) by getting a skinful of vodka at a local Café. Into the same Café came four self-assured young Jews: M. Katz, S. Keller, N. Schmer, and Isaac Tune, accompanied by a complaisant young lady of the town. The sight offended Student Grotkowski. Loudly and insolently he insulted them. Some member of the Katz, Keller, Schmer & Tune party stabbed him in the back...
...experience in that bathroom and his clever solution of the mystery, which he promptly reported to Nature. Few men in England could have resolved the matter so promptly as did this inquisitive sexagenarian baronet, barrister, linguist, musician, acoustician.

Miss Le Gallienne, as the servant girl whom he lives with, beats and foolishly dies for, gives...
First concerts in St. Louis and Indianapolis last week were more in tune with the Los Angeles Philharmonic's unworried beginning. In St. Louis the sleek, gallic ways of Conductor Vladimir Golschmann have proved so popular that the orchestra was able to balance its budget this autumn by boosting ticket-prices. In Indianapolis the orchestra which Ferdinand Schaefer started with unemployed musicians on a co-operative basis (TIME, Nov. 10, 1930), is actually thriving...
