Perhaps the most lurid new system is that of the graphic thinker, particularly as demonstrated in the "graph for all occasions" (reproduced here). The feeling has been expressed that this graph can be used to prove almost anything. Its inventor does not himself know what it actually shows but is certain that it might prove all sorts of things. The graph uses letters, specifically Greek letters, to label its parts in order to retain the maximum number of possible meanings and to give it that scholarly tone, so important when attempting to baffle a grader. Under no circumstances should this...
Four songs by Yehudi Wyner, 1G, received the most appreciative applause of the evening. Although Brownie, based on a poem by A. A. Milne, was described as being in a "lighter vein," it is in fact a graphic representation of a small child's momentary terror of the unknown.

Then I would like Dr. Docherty as a mature Biblical scholar ... to support from Scripture Dr. Graham's assertion that heaven is a 1,600-mile cube containing trees that produce a different kind of fruit each month...
...Feud. But Winchell's split with Lyons was mild compared to his old feud with Daily News Columnist Ed ("Little Old New York") Sullivan. Sullivan was sports editor of the old New York Graphic when the tabloid began Winchell's "Broadway Hearsay" column. After Winchell moved on to Hearst's Mirror at a fancy salary, Sullivan inherited his column spot. The feud officially began when Winchell accused Sullivan of columnar "blackmail" for inviting Heiress Barbara Hutton to throw a party for poor children in New York (she sent...
