...Straton has recently been the victim of the falsehood by omission. A communication to you recently published in the CRIMSON affirms quite acidly that, when the Doctor addressed the Debating Union some days ago, he declared that "He (a man referred to by Dr. Straton) had some elements of human decency about him even if he was a Jewish judge." Dr. Straton, on the other hand, denies making any such statement. He maintains that what he said was "Though the judge was a Jew and not a Christian, and though he had had in the case to deal with matters...
...must go far to find a more finely wrought story than "The Killers": cruelly, inevitably it moves to its appointed end, with never a word too much, with never a let-up in the swift relentless drama of the two gunmen and their victim. Some may find "A Canary for One" and "Today is Friday" a little overdone, a little obviously "tricky," but few will want to lay the book down before they have shared in all of Mr. Hemingway's many experiences...

All this, he said, he did to avenge the assassinations of his coreligionists. Finally, he found and killed...
...inhale very deeply and hold his breath. As his face grows red and his eyes bulge, great arms glide around his chest, like brewers' clamps over a beer keg. Just as the initiant feels like the inflated frog of Aesop's fairy tale, the great arms squeeze; the victim drops heavily, rendered unconscious by muscular anesthesia. This initiation "stunt," Professor Arno Benedict Luckhardt of the University of Chicago reminded the Academy, is dangerous to a person with a weak heart. The sudden compression of the chest when the lungs are fully inflated checks the flow of blood, produces a sudden...
