...student of History receives no such gradual initiation into his field. A concentrator in medieval history may graduate from the broad survey of History 1 into a small sector like History 22, the History of France to 1461. Medieval History needs a middle course on Continental Europe patterned after Professor Langer's course. It should also embrace Germany--now untouched by the specialized courses on Medieval Europe. The courses in Early Modern History are also in urgent need or revision. Only a person gifted with indefatigble energy and a sense of humour could get a good knowledge of this field...
...Cohan, the one-role actor, has selected for his one role a character that both appeals to a wide sector of every audience, and gives free play to his peculiar talents.

...Around me was that underworld of dreams haunted by submerged memories of warfare and its intolerable shocks and self-lacerating failures to achieve the impossible. By daylight each mind was a sort of aquarium for the psychopath to study. . . . But by night each man was back in his doomed sector of a horror-stricken Front Line where the panic and stampede of some ghastly experience was re-enacted among the livid faces of the dead...
...took the War Department nearly 18 years to decide that Hero Parker's heroics rated the Medal of Honor. On July 18, 1918, the 28th infantry of the A.E.F.'s First division found itself in a tough frontline sector near Soissons. Between it and a troop of French Colonials on its left was a jutting mound and rock quarry from which a nest of German machine guns spat a relentless enfilade fire. Seeing that the U. S. flank would soon be shredded to bits, Lieutenant Parker ordered his platoon and a group of wandering, disorganized French Colonials...
