...with nostalgia on the years when he was editor of the Socialist New York Call, from 1916 until 1922. He likes to thumb through old files of the Call, reread Eugene Debs's daily letters from prison, smile at advertisements announcing John and Lionel Barrymore in The Jest, cluck his tongue appreciatively at some of the best news reporting of another troubled...
Most rugged individuals deplore Fascism without being able to do anything more about it. Not so one rugged individual named Arturo Toscanini. Last week, as the world and his wife cluck-clucked helplessly over Nazi activities in Austria (see p. 19) the bantamweight maestro got in a smart jab to his old enemy's musical midriff.

The father is Elias Compton, Ph.D., D.D., Presbyterian clergyman, longtime professor of philosophy and psychology at the College of Wooster. The mother is Otelia Catherine Augspurger Compton, sprig of a German Mennonite family, who three years ago got an LL.D. for being "wife and mother of the Comptons." The parents did not try to choose careers for their four children but encouraged their natural bents. ''We used the Bible," said Father Elias, "and common...
