...summer home of Evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody is Mount Hermon School, which he founded for serious boys willing to work in the fields to win a plain, pious education. Three years ago Mount Hermon's half century of Christian calm was rudely shattered by a murderous charge of buckshot, fired through his study window at youthful Headmaster Elliott Speer (TIME, Sept. 24, 1934). For that shotgun murder no one has ever been brought to trial. But last week another gun and two old associates of Elliott Speer once more surrounded quiet Mount Hermon with an incongruous criminological atmosphere, provided...
Twisted into shapeless scrap were the engine, cars, shovels. Boulders flew like buckshot with here and there a human leg or arm, some landing as much as a mile distant.

It finally climbed a fish ladder beside the falls, roistered on up the Willamette, switched to the Pudding River and then started cross-country through Farmer Alben Erickson's pasture...
With eight Egyptians killed by Russell Pasha's forces fortnight ago, a scrimmage last week caused the police to shoot an Egyptian boy in the abdomen and gravely wound four others. Russell Pasha then changed his tactics. Police began firing charges of small buckshot directly into massed Cairo demonstrators. Correspondents, surprised to see how spunkily Egyptian girl students stood up to this kind of treatment, decided to call on 70-year-old Mme Said Zaghlul...
