...over it." Who really knew how to mourn? "The Greeks. They wept, they recovered, they recalled." What is old age? "Both by its practitioners and by its observers, it is approached too rhetorically and on too sustained a note-the whine of the gnat, the organ pedal diapasoning, the boom of the bittern, are among its musical accompaniments. The old person is assumed, and often affects to be, all of a piece-disgusting, pitiful, pretentious, peevish, noble, ingratiating, moody, and so on.

In five years the gross national product zoomed 62.5% to $25 billion annually, while industrial production jumped almost 100% to 219 on the 1934-36 index. But last week Japan had two somewhat more sober phrases to quote: naka-darumi, meaning pause, and oi-uchi, meaning a tightening.
