Down Boylston street, the bands swing along with beating drums and strident horns. A hobbing mass of heads, red feathers and blue, fill the street from curb to curb old men and young men, girls of '89 and '29 jostle one another with that unconcern born of a singleness of purpose and a forgetting of time and space. For over thirty years some of these men have strode along on a certain. November afternoon to witness John Harvard and the Bull Dog play their game, not only for supremacy in strength, but supremacy, in sportsmanship. Others are in the flush...
...warm, shallow waters of the Adriatic off smart Lido Beach lapped up with unconcern, last week, a profound secret.

Smart British sahibs of Calcutta affected unconcern, when the Hindu Congress met, 6,000 strong, within strolling distance of the leafy Meidan, where sahibs and mem-sahibs take their aristocratic air of an evening. Actually anxious talk buzzed all up and down the English clubs and offices in Calcutta's busy Chawringhee. It was surely no good sign when the 6,000 delegates and their more than 11,000 sympathizers proceeded to burn huge piles of Made-in-England goods before sitting to business. Presiding hysterically over the bonfire, Pandit Nehru cried: "Hail, soldiers of Swaraj [Self-Determination...
