...forward pass or touchdown in the Yale game of 1901? In just this way does the Star Spangled Banner, splendidly patriotic though it be, but manifestly a battle song, commemorate a specific event in a specific war of 70 years ago. Surely the national anthem should deal in a broader, more national way with the ideals, loyalties and beauties of this country . . . "The rockets red glare" has no place in such an anthem...
...Great American Novel has never been written, perhaps never will be. But Author Dos Passos has made a bold bid for it. Certainly no U. S. novel has ever been more comprehensive than The 42nd Parallel, none has ever given a broader, more sweeping view of the whole country.

There are no boats on any ocean so frequently painted, furiously scrubbed, resolutely polished as the Dutch. On the Rotterdam a relay of tiny Dutch pages, with faces as round and red as Edam cheeses, stand all day and half the night beside the First Class main stairway, to dash forward...
...otherwise as may be, by his individual experience, is illustrated by Mr. Hoover's reference to freedom of the seas in his Armistice Day speech. For what is commonly meant by freedom of the seas, Mr. Hoover has approval, as most statesmen have. On one point, within the broader field he is specific, and his being specific arises both from his habit of thinking in terms of forces and from his direct experience with food during the Great...
