...small bookshops, but the Simon and Shusters, too. When faced by the sort of opposition that the latter can offer, the self-appointed censors will be less eager to enforce their ethi-co-literary standards on the rest of the community. As matters now stand, independent book-sellers cannot afford to take up cases in court, but find it less costly to settle their difficulties by with-drawing the books in question. Thus there are very few test cases where publicity and opinions can be mobilized to fight the suppression of literature that rightly belongs to the reveling public...
...kind, is the facility with which Mr. Hill relegates the movies, the stage, the radio, the opera, the fine arts, literature, and scientific advancements into a very hasty and carefully indefinite eighty pages. A book which depends for its very life on the value of incident can ill afford, for example, to devote only eight pages to the theater.

...present, the Law Review and scattered conferences with professors have been the only means by which students were encouraged to do independent research.

...present, it is doubtful if the Society will be able to sponsor another exhibition, because subscriptions from members outside the University have diminished, and despite the fact that student membership trebled last year, the Society can no longer afford to maintain its gallery. If this exhibition, however, increases popular interest sufficiently, and if the appeal for funds that is being sent out succeeds, the society plans to hold an exhibition in one of the downstairs galleries of the Germanic Museum sometime during the middle of May. At this time, the works of some living French artist of note will...
...shoe industry is practically at a standstill, and the operators can quite afford to wait a few weeks until the workers are driven back to the shops by sheer want, for orders are not so many or so pressing that they cannot be filled next week as well as today. Nothing beyond pure benevolence or consideration on the part of the employers can bring any alleviation of the workers position, and the operators in the sloe industry are not widely noted for such philanthropy. In short, strikes in this region are hardly more than brave gestures, yet the Massachusetts trouble...
