...receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web. That is why we must not discriminate between things. Where things are concerned there are no class distinctions. We must pick out what is good for us where we can find it-except from our own works. I have a horror of copying myself...
...never before nosed into politics. Originally he wanted to buy only 100,000,000 feet of the hurricane timber, was afraid that if he did the market price would go to pot when the Government began selling. Northeastern Association was the solution. To keep it out of the monopoly class, the Government insisted that it be a cooperative with at least 30 members. Last week, with a Delaware incorporation and Manhattan offices, it began soliciting more members...
...Roman ancestors of present-day Fascists fought three full-length wars with a first-class Semitic power-Carthage. For 17 years Semitic Generalissimo Hannibal made Italy unsafe for Italians; Scipio, played by Cinemactor Annibale (Hannibal) Ninchi, finally defeated him at Zama, near Carthage.

Jeff Davis, sickly, handsome, humorless, egocentric, unimaginative, contrasted almost as sharply with Lee as with Lincoln. Almost kicked out of West Point, where he was 23rd in a class of 33, he considered himself a military genius. At West Point too began his bitter feud with Joseph E. Johnston. Cause: a tavern keeper's daughter. Elected to the Presidency by accident (delegates preferred Toombs), he was bitterly assailed by his own colleagues. ("That scoundrel Jeff Davis," said Toombs.) A bad guesser, he made his worst guess when he tried to force English recognition by withholding cotton shipments. That notion...
Refusing to believe that Harvard must always be without a School of Dramatic Arts, undergraduates vaguely hope for the time when a complete unit comprising stage, shops, and class-rooms will grace the College. In the meantime, concrete steps can easily be taken. Through a composition course in playwriting, undergraduates could test their work in collaboration with the Dramatic Club and produce informally for their own practice and self-criticism. Another course, devoted to acting, might correlate all the odds and ends of drama now spread over the English Department. A third, given by the Fine Arts Department, would concentrate...
