Sightseers in Cleveland usually go to see Karamu House. A cross between a school and settlement house, it got its name from a Swahili word meaning "place of enjoyment," comes close to being the ugliest institution in the U. S. Its five grey shanties squat in the heart of the "Roaring Third," Cleveland's worst slum. Its students, dressed in caps, windbreakers, overcoats, shriek at each other as they work, now & again break off for impromp tu boxing matches. Yet Clevelanders were not surprised last week when the Charles Eisenman Award, Cleveland's most cov eted civic prize...
...Jesus. She was about to lose something else. Says Author Haight: "The sensual side seems to have developed to a marked degree while she was translating The Essence of Christianity."

Then he got a job running a dining hall, thankfully gave...

If German victory begins to look probable, it is highly possible that Japan will move to seize The Netherlands East Indies. If Germany goes on to destroy the British Empire, Japan may seize British Malaya...
Even unpainted, Tibetan females are among the world's ugliest. Yet Tibetans practice polygamy, polyandry and all forms of sexual perversion, and almost everybody (doctors estimate 99%) has a venereal disease. What modern improvements Lhasa has are the work of the Chinese and British. Tibet is not only a back door to China, but its religion is observed by 2,000,000 Mongols whom China very much wants to keep as buffering friends.
