...Franklin Roosevelt was only one more baron; 2) A Liberal party will always be a "poor" party, therefore ideas must make it tick instead of money; 3) If the New Deal is to survive under Franklin Roosevelt or anyone else, as a Liberal party beyond 1940, its ideas must be churned into the local electorates, right down into the precincts whence Congressional and Presidential majorities sprout; 4) Any political baron who will not join in the churning process had best be read out of the new party at once, even if that means local defeats this year. For 1940 will...
...moment as great as Jim Farley's, this remains essentially true. Ambition for high office does not trouble him now because he has more exciting occupations. If he held an important office, he would have to observe rules of the game. As it is. Corcoran & Cohen are beyond the rules. They are engaged in making them...
...wilderness are television engineers. But televisors cannot simply establish squatters' rights, they must compete before the Federal Communications Commission with other services that seek room for expansion (TIME, July11). Meanwhile the inventors and engineers are concentrated on the problem of stretching this narrow field, increasing its effective range beyond the horizon. RCA-NBC boosted its television transmitter to the top of Manhattan's Empire State Building, claims reliable reception for its experimental telecasts over a radius of 43 miles, receives reports of sporadic reception some 100 miles away...
...ultrashort waves do spray beyond the horizon. When they travel far, however, they become as shifty and unaccountable as ricocheting bullets, cannot be relied upon to hit any particular target. Radiomen are appalled at the cost of setting up a network of ultra-short-wave stations, piping programs from station to station by cable or ordinary short-range radio-relay links. Last week was announced the invention by RCA's Inventor Vladimir Kosma Zworykin of a system designed to eliminate such costly cables...
...ultrashort waves pass through the atmosphere beyond the horizon, they encounter a constantly varying complex of atmospheric conditions. They are bent, reflected, shifted with every change in the constantly shifting atmosphere, like spray from a hose in the hands of a drunken gardener. Such waves hit a receiving antenna beyond the horizon only sporadically and by accident. The Zworykin invention, using two receiving antennae hooked up to a single receiving station, and an automatic device to match the wave length at the transmitter and receiver to the atmospheric conditions of the moment, is designed to assure unbroken, even, ultra-high...
