...forbidden the mails, nor was the sale of it in the college prohibited. But-and I have this from a student-the editor was asked to resign from the local literary fraternity, the object of the front-piece caricature threatened libel suits, the wives of the offended faculty threw fits, the faculty itself debated for four hours the question: Resolved, that the Froth be indefinitely suspended and that various punishments be meted out to its officers. The question, to my understanding, still hangs in the balance. . . . Yours, TIME-fully...
Automobile headlights threw a low glare over the Army polo field at Havana as Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh settled himself in the Spirit of St. Louis in the blackness of the wee small hours.

I only want to have some fun playing with the orchestra." He had his fun and critics, niggardly always with their praise for youthful virtuosos, threw restraint to the winds, reveled in such simple qualities as innocence and joy, prayed these might not be tarnished. There followed an offer for seven concerts at $5,000 apiece, another from a San Francisco group for ten at $3,000 each but the Menuhins refused them both, boarded...
