...life, but-and this goes deeper and is more fundamental-in its own social living together. None of the mechanisms which integrate the machinery of public life can function this way. One institution breaks down today, another tomorrow, until complete historic collapse will overtake us." But Ortega will not admit that economic determinism (Marxism) supplies the right answer for Spain's condition. Marxism, which he calls "one of the great ideas of the 19th Century, ... is one of the great wheels in the mechanism of history, but it travels in gear with many other wheels. The whole machine...
...liberty embodied in the fourteenth amendment." Although added fuel to the heated debate on the President's proposal for the reorganization of the judiciary was not exactly what the situation called for, the Angelo Herndon decision seems to crystallize the mugwump position which the President's followers take. They admit the imperative need for an independent judiciary in such a case as this, but that doesn't in the least abate their pleas to give the President the power to "change the complexion of the Court...

To his Cities Service Co. he would donate $1,250,000, pay the opposing attorneys' fee, but under no conditions admit "any remissness" (TIME, Feb. 15).

Her tolerance rarely deserts her except when she writes about literary climbers or timeservers, or about the Edwardian novelists who were her immediate predecessors. Her pet targets are Arnold Bennett, H. G. Wells, and John Galsworthy, whom she considers hopeless materialists, blind guides of their misled generation. Heaven...
...just enough courage to get him a disguise, send him off to a mountain village. Garbed as Don Paolo, a priest on vacation. Spina slowly got his bearings again, gradually began to sound out the political temper of his neighbors. Against his stubborn will he finally had to admit that ignorance and fear had drained all the political temper out of them. Here & there he found an old comrade still willing to work for freedom, or a youngster who suspected that there was something rotten in the state of Italy; but among people so burdened with fear that they dared...
