Presenting the argument for intervention in the war, Herbert S. Agar, author and columnist and editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, will speak on "Is England's War Our War?" in the New Lecture Hall at 8 o'clock tonight...
That has lately become the constant refrain of many another of this country's progressives. From Herbert Agar on alphabetically down the list, they have proclaimed-with Harvard's most distinguished son-that the Fight for Freedom "must and will" be fought simultaneously on two fronts: abroad against soul-cramping fascism, at home against poverty and reaction.

Protoplasmic streaming from a to b and vice versa can take place through the strand...
