...sported at Radcliffe. Thus, our status is not fundamentally changed: we still manage to please some of the people all of the time. And the columns of the CRIMSON will cease to resemble a Louella Parsons forum on The Moral Cupidity of lugrid Bergman, and perhaps return to subjects worthier of its aspiring journalists and ostensibly-intelligent contributors. Please, please, let us enjoy one of women's oldest and most harmless prerogatives: the last word.

...Mencken Chrestomathy is Mencken's own selection from his out-of-print writings. He has arranged them to deal broadly, and of course irreverently, with morals, women, statesmen, the South, literature and more than a score of other subjects. Worthier books have been published this year, but few that offer even a sizable fraction of the plain reading pleasure to be found in the chrestomathy (i.e., selection of passages-chrestos, useful; mathein, to learn).

...that a speech by Gerald Smith might safely be defined in advance as incitation to violence. But Americans are rightly averse to any abridgement of the Bill of Rights; we had rather stretch the point and let Smith hire a ball, than set a precedent of suppression from which worthier minority voices might suffer. Smith may hire the Old South Meeting House, then: but any man who hires a hall is taking a stand, as your editorialist puts it, in "the marketplace of political discussion." We are all in that marketplace; there is a certain physical distance between Cambridge...
