...Senate had stopped Mississippi's bigoted Theodore ("The Man") Bilbo from taking his seat in the Senate, had finally confirmed David Lilienthal as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. Taft shared credit for the first job and blame for the long delay in the Lilienthal case. Under the whip of Arthur Vandenberg, the 80th had backed the "bipartisan" foreign policy.

...glance and a passing smile, because you will find yourself reading the entire magazine, except possibly for some rhymed, five-line fillers masquerading as limericks. Take "Speak For St. Joan," for instance. This is a good-natured burlesque of what might happen if two local histrionic organizations were to whip up a joint production.

...Hegel; he is cold and unmerciful to mankind, out of a kind of mathematical mercifulness. He is damned always to do what is most repugnant to him: to become a slaughterer in order to abolish slaughtering, to sacrifice lambs in order that no more lambs may be slaughtered, to whip people with knouts so that they may learn not to let themselves be whipped, to strip himself of every scruple in the name of a higher scrupulousness, and to challenge the hatred of mankind because of his love for it-an abstract and geometric love...

...fourth inning rallies by Leverett and Dunster spiked all victory hopes for Adams and Lowell Houses in intramural ball game yesterday, as the Bunnies piled up five runs to down the Bellboys, 7 to 3, in baseball, and the Deacons capitalized on seven Adams errors to whip the Gold Coast softball team...
