...that stood next to Kalamazoo which was mentioned as having 3.67% of its male graduates taking Ph.D.s in chemistry and biochemistry. We find that King College had 3.60% of its male graduates taking this degree.

The steelmakers, who have been worried that the rate of capacity figure is not only discouraging these days but does not give an accurate picture of the industry (TIME, Nov. 14), decided to drop it. Many steelmen feel that the capacity comparison has made steel production look worse than it actually is, since the most profitable rate of production is around 80% of capacity instead of 100%.

Forewarned that Hemingway was setting him up for a critical clobbering by comparison with Ordóñez, Dominguín had already made his reply. Said he in Spain's weekly Gaceta Illustrada: "Hemingway considers himself an expert. Perhaps so, but not as much as he thinks. He is undoubtedly a great writer, but it's not enough...
