...telling an obscene limerick is not just a man trying to amuse his friends. Such is the conclusion of Dr. Raoul Weston LaBarre of Uniontown, Pa., social anthropologist who has studied the customs of Bolivian Indians, done psychiatric research at the Topeka clinic of Dr. Karl Augustus Menninger (The Human Mind, Man Against Himself). Young Dr. LaBarre, observing gatherings of limerick-telling U. S. males, and analyzing the content of the limericks, decided that he was in the presence of otherwise normal people unconsciously betraying their repressions and inhibitions.

S. air facilities (TIME, May 8) to tell (in secret session) what he knew about aerial Europe. Witness Lindbergh, in a dark suit, dark tie, turned out to be a nice fellow who had flown German planes, knew they were fast but had not been allowed to use airspeed indicators. The German planes he saw were not so elaborately made as U. S. craft, could not haul bombs across the Atlantic. He told so little (scarelines in newspapers notwithstanding) that...
