...advisers to a conference at Nanchang, his field headquarters in Kiangsi facing the Soviet Sore Spots. It was possible, declared the Generalissimo, that he might have to place the entire anti-Red campaign in the hands of his subordinate General Liu Tze and rush off to battle in a zone of still greater danger. Ceremoniously, though they all knew that the Generalissimo had made up his mind where he was going, the Council of Generals reviewed the centres of revolt...

It requires a practically immovable line, to hold indefinitely while the backfield shuttles...
...event that this first scheme should not prove feasible, then perhaps the large, cindered area back of the Stadium, the zone now used as a paying parking space on big game days, could be turned to that same purpose the whole year round. It has, I believe, a maximum capacity of about 1400 cars, and could be opened at once for the dual purpose of aiding the H.A.A. and keeping the fair name of Harvard out of the traffic courts.
