Like many another outraged oldster throughout the land, Richmond Pearson Hobson sat up late in Manhattan one night last week discussing the depravity of President Roosevelt's plan to rejuvenate the Supreme Court. Most of the nation's unofficial denouncers that night were content to vent their spleen in talk, go modestly to bed. But Richmond Pearson Hobson was a professional zealot who, in 30-odd years of windy crusading against alcohol, narcotics and un-Americanism, of drumming up fears of Japanese invasion and Communist infiltration, had never forgotten that he was once...
...song has been sung for the benefit of outclassed Crimson hockey teams by Prom-happy Elis on many occasions. But tonight will not be one of these, for the Stubbs-Ford sextet is on the rebound from Washington's Birthday at the Forum, and Yale is the only possible vent for their wrath.

"Godfrey, Godfrey, hide them if you've got them, the cope are coming!" Later she plunges about in furious joy, convinced that Godfrey loves her because he put her, dressed in evening clothes, into the cold shower...
...impossible for French Cabinet Ministers to vent their feelings publicly but M. Jean Fabry, recently War Minister, cried: "This super-armament of Germany means that we must totally reorganize our national defenses!" In fear of a Nazi onslaught, even the French Communists, traditional opponents of long-term conscription, urged that French youths be compelled to serve with the colors for three years...
