...time, and in the sharply competitive field of. journalism (newspapers, radio, TV, magazines) this creates an impulse to be different. Some concentrate on the sideline trivia. Others try to be first with news of a great concert by talking about it before it happens, which is easy but not apt to be informative. We confess to a general prejudice in favor of talking about the event afterward-to review how well Artur Rubinstein actually played rather than to anticipate his reception from a desire to appear first...
...reasons, lack of faculty action in the New York controversy is lamentable, not merely because Harvard's independence gives its faculty members certain obligations, but because the New York issue is one in which a letter from Cambridge might have some effect. University officials in New York are more apt to be swayed by opinion coming from within the academic profession than is the President in Washington...
...making pipeline-pumped coal almost as easy to handle as fuel oil. Plans for a coal pipeline from the Pennsylvania and West Virginia fields to big East Coast power companies are already under consideration.

Since Cleveland Electric put in its solitary pipeline, the railroads serving the company's other generating plants have dropped their coal-hauling rates...

The critics would arrive, admire the deft draftsmanship, and report in awe that though John did not change, he never seemed to date. Then would come John's friends-poets, artists, actors, M.P.s, and a generous sampling of the House of Lords-chatting and advising. Finally, John himself, bearded and majestic, would sweep in, his headgear-whether a beret or black Homburg or battered trilby-cocked at some outlandish angle...
