...Landis vision, however, desirable in the absolute, stands or falls on its practicability. Where is the money to come from? The Law School Dean does not say. Some have suggested a possible answer based on the fact that privately-owned boarding houses, where most graduate students now live, are making profits. The University, it is urged, should liquidate enough securities to pay for the erection of graduate Houses. Profits from rentals of rooms in these buildings would be placed into a sinking fund sufficient to repay the capital and interest. The net effect of the proposal is thus that, instead...
...battle, arose from their graves last night at Sanders Theatre and refused to be buried. Despite the commands of army, church and family, they refused to lie down again. In "Bury The Dead" Irwin Shaw combines a fierce hatred of war with a conviction that the common man has come to find a more important reason for living than giving his blood for a muddy strip of battlefield. Shaw is pointing almost towards a rebirth, a reincarnation of man on a higher and finer plane...

For with a growing working population it would be perfectly possible to have employment and unemployment increase at the same time...
From the Continental come terse, dry bulletins issued by the Army General Staff, and cunning propaganda stories (of plots to restore the Kaiser, failure of German food supplies) concocted by Playwright Giraudoux himself. There, too, in sumptuous rooms that once housed U. S. tourists, censors sit poring over proofs of tomorrow's papers, ferreting out lines that might give information to the enemy...
