Aware that his proposal that they go in for social reform would shock fellow scientists, Dr. Lynd beat them to the punch. "The scholar-scientist," said he, "is in acute danger of being caught, in the words of one of [W. H.] Auden's poems, 'Lecturing on navigation while the ship is going down...

Just as most white swing bands play mostly fast, stiff music while calling it swing, so do the jitterbugs dance out of time, pressing the beat so much that they can't same time and watch the crowd shag to easy tempos. They just rock along, everybody taking his time, but it still swings. When Krupa was playing his theater tour last summer, he had two kids with him who really did a marvelous job: they...
