This assumption is folly. They dislike ideas, for ideas make them uncomfortable. - Notes on Journalism, an article in the "Chicago Tribune", September 19, 1926, p. G1 [Education : Ideas] The university president who cashiered every professor unwilling to support Woodrow Wilson for the first vacancy in the Trinity. . . . - Star-spangled Men, in the "New Republic", Sep. 29, 1920 [Wilson, Woodrow] Balloonists have an unsurpassed view of the scenery, but there is always the possibility that it may collide with them. - The Bend in the Tube [Balloons] Displaying page 5 of 5 for this author: << Prev 1 2 3 4 [5]
