...your issue of Oct. 25, on p. 41, col. 3, a clear implication, if not a direct statement, is made to the effect that indirect lighting was invented in Germany by Bauhaus workmen...

However, there is good authority for pronouncing "again" with a long aa" and TIME is not prepared to say whether the President or Reader Strong's radio elides the first "n" in "government."

Corinne's story runs small but fairly clear until it widens muddily when she gets mixed up with a homosexual stage designer. The narrative stream fed by the greatest number of branches, and the only one fit for navigation or swimming, is the one carrying Professor Gay Coleman's story...
