...hungry friends and relatives in Germany after World War I, Germans in the U. S. sent many a neat package of sausage, chocolate, coffee, soap, with Gruss und Kuss (Greetings and Kisses). The practice became popular again when Hitler ordered the Nazis to stick out their chests, pull in their stomachs, get ready for World War II. Last fall, as German belts began to tighten behind the British blockade, a stream of food packages began to flow from the U. S. to Germany, through neutral countries...
Although it is too late to worry about the type of charge against Browder, the public should be concerned with the chance of such weak accusations against other radicals. To accuse Fritz Kuhn of embezzlement is one thing: thousands of other men have received the same sentence.

Blue books are every day laid in neat little piles, A--M and N--Z, as if on a sacrificial altar. Alarm clocks jangle so early that they scare the mice back into their holes. Extra chairs are brought into...
Another brilliant match in the 128 pound class saw Ted Schoenberg pull his match out of the fire by pinning his man with his favorite three-quarter Nelson after about five minutes of wrestling. It happened so fast his opponent barely knew what happened. Captain Bill Daughaday and Dick Thomas were both decidedly predominant in their matches, particularly the former, but neither of them were able to catch their cautions opponents off guard and take them any more than by decisions...
