...Deutschland erwache! Juda verrecke!" they bellowed as he emerged waving his black felt hat. "Hail Hitler! Germany awake! Perish Juda!" Wasting not a second, Chancellor Hitler piled into his Mercedes beside the chauffeur, shot off between lines of police to form his Cabinet with record speed. There were rumors, doubtless untrue, but alarming, that General von Schleicher & Friends were about to attempt a "General's Putsch" and proclaim restoration of the House of Hohenzollern. In less than an hour the new Hitler Cabinet had met for a brief conference in the Reich Chancellery and Germans were staring at this...
Last week the Pope rejoiced in the number of canonizations and beatifications that would doubtless take place during the Holy Year, and he urged all Catholics to strive for sanctity. Said he: "It is true that only some reach the heights, but all in various modes and in different measure are obliged to have some degree of saintliness in accordance with their individual circumstances...
...Doubtless The Bitter Tea of General Yen will distress cinemaddicts who cherish the illusion that under Tsar Hays the cinema is committed to upholding Occidental theories of right and wrong.

The theme of the novel is based on the same stale social satire which has been poured by the hogs-heads from the dripping quills of surviving English radicals of the nineties and of American cynics of the twenties. The hero is a prig conceived to be representative of the insignificant conservative. The author explains, by the story, that...
Much of the discussion accorded last night's announcement will doubtless center around the terms of the arrangement, which comprise merely a two-year contract on a home-and-home basis, and emphasis will be placed on the diplomatic manouevres since 1926 with their relation to the present move. In that connection, it must be remembered that the function of athletic authorities is not to score diplomatic "points" nor to outwit rival authorities by subtle negotiation, but rather to arrange contests which as nearly as possible reflect the undergraduate sentiment in the institutions involved. Apparently Harvard and Princeton officials have...
