...ratified boldly, with generosity and magnanimity, France might have retained the influence over policies which the U.S. and Britain instinctively accord to those whom they most respect. Instead, the little men of the National Assembly brought France down to their own untrusting, untrustworthy level. The Western Big Three would henceforth be the Western...
While washing his hands and singing a gay Neapolitan air, he stopped and remarked casually: "My father cut his throat," then went back to singing. Byron was word-perfect in his monster role before he was out of his teens. Henceforth, the clubfoot and the sensitive heart hid themselves in the disguise of a cold, cloven-hoofed devil. On his brow, at a moment's notice, would appear "that singular scowl" which caused one acquaintance to exclaim that he "had never seen a man with such a Cain-like mark on the forehead."

Three Tiger-class cruisers now under construction will be the last gun-cruisers built for the Royal Navy: henceforth, Britain expects to arm all its heavier vessels with guided missiles. What might happen to the Navy while the missiles are being developed has many an old sea salt worried. Russia already has 30 cruisers to Britain's 26, said 81-year-old Lord Chatfield last week.
