Into the tangled web of international politics there burst yesterday a new factor of the utmost importance, namely the danger of war with the planet Mars. Completely dwarfing the petty Czechoslovakian quibble, this new terror drove deep into the panic-stricken hearts of Americans, uncovering in its violence a fundamental fact which no thinking person can afford to ignore: namely, America is a part of the universe...

The wardrobe is the inevitable equipment, in the cinema, of all young women who work in dress shops...
