...Nanking last week was the most important fact in China. Had the young marshal refused to come, had he made excuses tarrying up North in Peiping or Manchuria, the game of President Chiang would have been definitely up. The President's strength is now in the North, a paradox, for he got his start in the South at Canton, where revolution burst last week. From Canton in the brief space of two years (1926-28) President Chiang conquered all China. His only hope of maintaining this conquest now lies in the friendship of Marshal Chang and other Northern leaders...
...connection with the proposed Memorial Chapel, as to whether the dedication should be made to include the Harvard men who died fighting in the World War on the side of the Central Powers. A War Memorial erected to the memory of men who died as enemies must involve a paradox unless the dedication is made in a spirit broader than that of war itself, for war is an essentially partisan affair. Only through a disregard of the limited nationalistic point of view can the paradox be eliminated from such an impartial dedication. As the Chapel is to be a Harvard...

He began with a stout faith in the workings of popular democracy and the benefits of collective action. But his newspaper experience gradually bred in him a distrust (again, like Hoover's) of so-called Public Opinion, the judgments...
Adhering to its invariable custom Hollywood proceeded to mould and stamp Miss Twelvetrees as a definite type. She was groomed and plumed, and came out a paradox. Her contact with the grim and the real was to be a result of her figure; just as her inherent fineness and final sublimation was to be foretold by the glow of spirituality that her slightly sloe-eyes could assume...
Today the Vagabond is planning to attend a lecture which at first thought would seem to be a scholastic paradox. He is going to hear one of the most eminent workers for world peace analyze one of the most important wars of modern history. The speaker is Professor Sidney B. Fay, and the war in question is the Franco-Prussian of 1870. The War of 1870 was the starting point of Professor Fay's researches when he began his long and arduous quest for the real origins of the World War. That he has succeeded in untangling many...
