...newsitem under Miscellany re the Chicago search for ''hors d'oeuvres" synonyms interested me since every Chinese feast has a prefix of small variety dishes which one tries artfully to steer shy of. The only Chinese name for them that I can find would translate something like "Saucermites," "Midgettes,"-literally "tiny plates." Perhaps this nation's master chefs tried to find a name too, in former centuries, and finally showed the good judgment of giving the simple name they chose, letting the eater form his own opinion...
Reason for old Ed Hamilton's emotion was that the bit of metal marked the end of a grueling six-month search for his son-in-law, Pilot S. J. Samson.

Loudly he reassured nervous Rightist supporters with the statement that he had authorized General Franco to spend $1,500,000,000 "subscribed abroad," by whom Juan March would...
...idle to speculate, as the men of the conference did, as to the causes of what they like to call as "unwarranted exodus" on the part of college graduates in search of jobs. This movement is not caused by "wanderlust," "higher pay elsewhere," "the traditional conservatism of New England," or other irrelevant facts. The crux of the situation is that no matter how large a place New England naturally occupies in our sentiments and affections, it is only a very small part of the industrial and intellectual life of the country...
