...vast array of hereditary titles settled upon him, a bachelor, a democrat, and the last of his immediate line. His work for closer U. S.-British trade relations ended formally when he resigned from the Government over the Ottawa agreement. In the '30s, during the period of appeasement, he saw his last hope-that Adolf Hitler might still be brought into the fabric of European law & order by adjustments of the Versailles Treaty-end in the invasion of Czecho-Slovakia. And as he arrived in the U. S. as Ambassador, he saw the outbreak of the war which...
...line of Army scout cars rolled out of Fort Bliss, down a rutty road, and out on the Texas plain. Beyond the stubby noses of the cars stretched wave on wave of "bondocks" (sand hummocks, topped by sage and greasewood) and deep arroyos. Behind the scout cars, a mile across the twisted land, stood file after file of horsemen, half-hidden in the brush. The U. S. Cavalry was about to have some...
...back with our bombers will steadily increase. But he is building submarines and long-distance planes with all his might and main with which to bomb the convoys and to announce their location to the submarines.

This line accounted for three of the four goals scored in the game with Mt. St. Charles, the closest shave yet experienced by the Freshmen...
...music is a treat for jaded ears. The singing has that perfect fusion and sympathy of all voices one finds among the members of a fine string-quartet, and you will not tire of the chamber flavor as you might the brilliance of a larger chorus. Also in the line of vocal music are the ancient French carols sung on a single Columbia Record by the Strasbourg Cathedral Choir, music more of the folk quality than the Bach chorales, but of a similar fresh spirit, in its own way just as delightful. The much larger choir of the cathedral gives...
