...cold tunnel into the Bowl as the Band swung into "Our Director"--the saucer-shaped bowl that gave Vag the uncomfortable sensation that he was watching the game from West Rock--the Blue flare some Yale freshman set off that smothered the Eli faus instead of the Crimson--the din when Hardy crashed into Molloy and Harvard went ahead 21-14--the sickening final minutes when Yale tied the ball game--the weird feeling Vag had driving to New York, not knowing whether to sing or Sulk...
...Tulip, a merry jibe at the more pretentious forms of historic motion picture. Louis XV wages lordly war across the screen, counting victory cheap if it costs but 10,000 lives.

In The Little Emperors, Alfred Duggan made diverting entertainment out of the fall of the Roman Empire in Britain (sth century...
...humming din of the plant's control room last week, Premier Duplessis pressed a button to start a 45,000-h.p. generator. Nodding at it and the other big dynamo, he shouted to McCormick: "Do you think they produce more light than the Chicago Tribune?" The colonel chortled appreciatively. Later, at a banquet in the Manoir Comeau the Premier, himself a man who knows his own worth, told 215 guests: "We're somewhat alike, the colonel and I. We're both criticized, but we both do some good work...
