By    Spectator Staff Writer October 24, 1:40am A group of eight Columbia students stands in front of Alma Mater on a sunny day.

~ ~ We the Pymies of the United Hates, in order to form a more perfect Fashunn, shall overlook, hereby, Coco Chanel's deeds most abhorrent* , in bestowing upon her the Honorary Seal of Pymproval : * In 1923, Vera Bate Lombardi, (born Sarah Gertrude Arkwright), reputedly the illegitimate daughter of the Marquess of Cambridge, afforded Chanel entry into the highest levels of British aristocracy. It was an elite group of associations revolving around such personages as Winston Churchill, aristocrats such as the Duke of Westminster, and royals such as Edward, Prince of Wales. It was in Monte Carlo in 1923, at age forty that Chanel was introduced by Lombardi to the vastly wealthy Duke of Westminster, Hugh Richard Arthur Grosvenor, known to his intimates as "Bendor". The Duke of Westminster lavished Chanel with extravagant jewels, costly art, and a home in London's prestigious Mayfair distric...

beset by strange fears, upheld by one desire

Here are some Lord Jim quotes that jumped off the page at me. Already there are MANY such passages - so consider the below merely e pluribus quattor. He made many voyages. He knew the magic monotony of existence between sky and water: he had to bear the criticism of men, the exactions of the sea, and the prosaic severity of the daily task that gives bread - but whose reward is in the perfect love of the work. This reward eluded him. [16] But now and again an uncontrollable rush of anguish would grip him bodily, make him gasp and writhe under the blankets, and then the unintelligent brutality of an existence liable to the agony of such sensations filled him with a despairing desire to escape at any cost. Then fine weather returned, and he thought no more of it. [18] [The Patna ] was owned by a Chinaman, chartered by an Arab, and commanded by a sort of renegade New South Wales German, very anxious to curse publicly his native country, but who, apparently on the strength of Bism...
