...Threads. From St. Peter's throne the prospect before and after stretches into centuries and millenniums. The Vatican's long-range purpose is its timeless spiritual mission. Its immediate concern is the welfare of 331,500,000 followers. The layman has seen it bend to temporary expediency. But, as in its disagreement with Nazi Germany over the meaning of the 1933 Concordat, the Vatican has never been known to surrender rights it considers basic: to educate the youth, guide the family, govern the bishops...
...marital relations is not enough, says Cohn. Women must turn over a new public leaf. Instead of enthusing "for the missions of Namaqualand," they might pay some attention to "the essentials of local government." Instead of talking complacently about the glories of the U.S. educational system, women might "concern themselves with their community schools" and raise the pay of women teachers.

The 31,000 mile trip around the world via the Liberator bomber, "Gulliver," has begun a further stage of Mr. Willkie's growth...
...Federal elections and "Jim Crowism on all types of interstate carriers." It must pass a "Federal anti-lynching statute." To implement this policy, it must use the bludgeon of hard cash. All Government grants to states and communities, both for war and postwar industries, housing developments, down to "every concern from which the Government purchases so much as a lead pencil," must be made on the "condition of non-discrimination." The teeth in the contract: "In default of compliance, the license can be revoked...
