...possibilities implicit in the remarkable statement that "men are needed as well as women to make a happy marriage". To former Representative Dorgan, and to others who fear communism in American colleges, we suggest that here may be found a novel application in "physiological and psychological" fields of the axiom "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

For the first eight months of this year total operating net income was $364,000,000 as against...
That nothing in the universe moves faster than light is a fundamental axiom of modern physics. The velocity of light is accepted as "basic constant," is given the symbol c for mathematical notation, is counted as 2.9986X10 10 cm. sec.-1-or roughly...
