Ratner stated that an article written by Justice Homes in 1888 for "Youth's Companion' would be published for the first time in this year's law book. Mark Howe of the Buffalo University Law School discovered it and presented it as a gift to Dean Landis. The article gives Holmes's estimation of the characteristics necessary for success...

By strict interpretation, for refusing to serve they could be fined up to $10,000, jailed for five years.

Last week Scripps-Howard Columnist Ernie Pyle described a trip through Buffalo's vast Curtiss-Wright plant, No. 1 U. S. producer of combat planes. Each of the 154,000 rivet holes in a P-40 was drilled by hand. Said he: "It is almost like building a house." Good planes may not be susceptible to mass production, but until they...
