In an engineering enterprise of this magnitude unique solutions of special problems are likely to occur. One such solution publicized in Los Angeles last week was the way in which radio communication is maintained with the 14 repair crews which patrol the transmission line in automobiles...

...imagine a guide saying: "And here is Boulder Dam--the engineering epitome of that age. And here is the Empire State: one Alfred Smith president. And for art, see here the Lincoln Memorial. A great age that was with unprecendented material progress, physical and medical research. But it got them: their material power gave them a confidence and a hollow sophistication which is always the death warrant of moral progress. It is the same old story: people thought they saw through everything and consequently saw nothing. But come, come, how many will take the ride to Mars...
