YOUNG MEN are impatient with convention. The whole age is impatient with convention, or what it understands by the term. Yet Professor Lowes' course in Nineteenth Century poetry remains paradoxically popular. Mr. Parson's book (his first, by the way) is dedicated to Mr. Lowes . . . "who, in an age of revolt, eloquently defends the beauty of convention." The dedication is deserved, the book not unworthy of its dedicates...
...editor of a trade union magazine-all four of them prominent trade union officials-were arrested on charges of "malfeasance, Trotskyism and sabotage." The Council further charged the trade unions as a whole with neglecting their main duty, the social welfare of the worker-supervising sanatoriums, sick benefits, old age benefits.* A Stalin-inspired ultimatum thundered that the trade unions must be overhauled, converted into thoroughgoing "Schools of Communism...
Current Data. Having reached the age of three, the Quintuplets have graduated from the class of biological sideshow freaks into a more normal human status.

...public's temper. Mr. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Trust were not viewed with the cynical distrust which Big Business enjoys in the days of Roosevelt II. At that time the public was roused to a white fury by the ruthless tactics of a predatory monopoly. What that age failed to see was that John D. Rockefeller had merely exploited an historical imperative. Standard Oil was the prototype of all modern large-scale industrial enterprises. In that very real sense John D. Rockefeller was the father of Big Business. He happened to have done...
