...armed against homeless, hungry, sick, ragged and defenseless men, women and children and drove them out by force of fire and sword. . . ." When the clerk finished reading, North Carolina's Pou, senior House Democrat, declared: "Mr. Speaker, I move to lay the resolution on the table." A great cheer went up as the Democratic majority, party politics aside, massed in defense of the Republican President. The impeachment resolution was "laid on the table" (i. e. defeated) by the overwhelming vote of 361-to-8. Seven Democrats voted for it: New York's Black and Griffin, Texas' Blanton...
...House of Commons crusty Tories raised a cheer when Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs Captain Anthony Eden boomed that "His Majesty's Government would not hesitate, in case of necessity, to take all legitimate measures to protect its vital interests."

Mrs Lubinsky went ashore in Athens, not tc inspect arrested Capitalist Samuel Insull but "to visit an antique shop"-presumably a disguised hideout for Trotsky Communists. When the ship reached Naples, Mr. Lubinsky dodged all but one persistent photographer...
...cheering sections of our opponents are a shameful contrast to our own. How many cheer leaders of other colleges have to beg their men to "make some noise? I wonder how many of the present undergraduate body know the words of even one of Harvard's great football songs? So few that the University Band has given up playing them and gives us instead medleys of largely irrelevant, albeit well--played music. In parenthesis I should like to congratulate the Band on its magnificent spirit at New Haven last Saturday. That made...
