...ANTICIPATE WITH DREAD FOR ITS EFFECTS THE POSSIBLE SELECTION OF ADOLF HITLER AS TIME'S MAN OF THE YEAR. THE MAJORITY OF LETTERS NOMINATING HIM HAVE BEEN WHOLLY CONDEMNATORY. IF HIS PICTURE APPEARS ON YOUR COVER ONLY AS TIME'S MAN OF THE YEAR THE CONTROLLED PRESS OF FASCIST COUNTRIES AND THE UNINFORMED OF ALL NATIONS WILL HAIL THE SELECTION AS AN AWARD OF MERIT. WE ASK THAT YOU CONFIRM THE TRUST OF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST DEMOCRACY BY REFRAINING FROM CONVEYING THIS TITLE AS AN HONOR UPON A MAN WHO HAS DOMINATED THIS...
...plus 10% of his 10% share of the winning purse. A jockey also pays for his saddles (he usually owns two or three of varying weights), whips, boots, breeches and rubber reducing suit-if he has to keep his weight down.

Many will support President Conant's statement in 1936 that he was "not enthusiastic about an education which is administered by a force pump," and the dread word Fascist may even be read into...
...Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office is the awesome tribunal of the Roman Catholic Church which guards the integrity of Catholic faith & morals, deals with heresies (it once had charge of the Inquisition), handles mixed marriage cases, maintains the dread Index of Prohibited Books. So potent is the Holy Office that it is nominally headed, not by a Cardinal, like other congregations, but by the Pope himself. Last week the Holy Office-with or without the knowledge of Pope Pius XI-was in the centre of a holy row, kicked up by a devoted but backboned British convert...
