Every sport follower in America (which means more than 90 percent of the population) knows now that Babe Ruth played in the recent World's Series on his nerve. He had a bad leg and an infected arm. When he was taken out of the fifth game he was on the verge of collapse...
...limitation of armaments is important, but it is not decisive as an agency of peace. National armament is the creature of national policy. If a nation cherishes policies which impair the freedom and prevent the development of other nations, it is bound to arm in self-protection against the resentment and the fear of other nations.

A scratch on the arm, a blister on the heel, is considered ample satisfaction for the demands of honor. Indeed, to badly injure one's opponent is shocking bad taste, for it prevents his attending the drinking party which usually winds up these affairs. We thus have the example of a nation -- on the brink of economic and social disruption -- playing at Lords and Ladies until tea-time. They seem to have quite forgotten that when...
