...Point, Ind. for embezzlement, larceny and conspiracy to commit a felony. The indictments were not divulged, but it was understood that Insull Jr. and his associates were charged with looting Northern Indiana's treasury to shore up the crumbling walls of the Insull holding companies. This particular Insull echo resulted from the trial of Howard Duncan, onetime assistant treasurer, who was indicted for embezzlement of $1,500. On the witness stand last autumn he calmly admitted stealing not $1,500 but $132,000, most of which he had squandered on the horses. But, Embezzler Duncan testified, his superiors...
Perhaps the status of debating other than as an academic pursuit may be the cause for this attitude. For our part, while we well recognize the benefits of forensics and enjoy a good debate, we cannot bring ourselves to echo "alas for debating." Oral expression of the thirties has abandoned the amphitheater and the auditorium and has retrenched itself among the committee rooms, the round tables, the conference benches. The man worth while is he who has the gift of driving home a point informally against a barrage of conflicting opinions stabbing through a cigar smoke screen laid down...
There is no attempt, stylistically, to re-echo the taut and simple brutalities of Hemingway; nor is there nay imitation of Dos Passos' inchoate complexity.

The author muses on life in a German Lutheran minister's household, situated in a German settlement in New York State. The life that is led there...
...Harvard and West Point bands will form on the 35-yard markers, facing each other. The program will be brought to a climax at this point by the playing of taps by the West Point bugler stationed at the bottom of Section 46. After five seconds of silence the echo will be taken up by a Harvard bugler ensconced on the topmost rampart of the bowl. When the last faint strain of the echo has been wafted away on the breeze, a one-minute hush will fall over the assembled crowd and a silent tribute paid to those who gave...
...army. He did his best, but when his part in a duelling scrape got him transferred from the Uhlans to a far-off infantry garrison he began to go downhill. Love affairs, finally drink, became his only interest in life. When he saw that his own disintegration was an echo of the Empire's break-up he resigned from the army. Then came War; he re-enlisted and was shot ingloriously in a border skirmish. His aged father and the decrepit Emperor were left to watch their world dissolve...
