While Italians may have enough bread to eat this year, it will not be the kind they want. Il Duce, ever conscious that in event of war a closed Mediterranean would leave Italy seriously crippled for food and raw materials, annually stores part of the wheat crop as a war measure, sells a sizable portion abroad for needed foreign exchange. Thus last year, while the nation on paper produced enough for home use, Italy in fact suffered a wheat shortage. Bakers, unable to purchase sufficient wheat flour, eked out their dough with substitutes like corn flour, bean flour, ground lentils...
...Harvard has kept up. Harvard today is more conscious than ever before of the voice of the lower classes: " . . . one third of the nation . . ." It is more appreciative than ever before of the need liberal and enlightened leaders. It is more convinced than ever before that Henry Adams was right when he demanded that both sides of every issue be expressed.

Most self-conscious about problems like race prejudice and the fight for social justice are Warner Bros. But most of the $5,876,183 profit their company netted during its last fiscal year came from Dick Powell musicals, crime stories opportunely snatched from newspaper headlines, feathery comedies.

John Wesley never left the Church of England. In essence his doctrines were: justification by faith alone; freedom of the human personality; purity of heart; the reception of the Holy Spirit by man. Methodism today strives...
...want to keep. In this universal comedy of psychological errors, typesetters drop words from headlines, proofreaders overlook absurd mistakes, genteel ladies make slips of the tongue which transform innocent sentences into obscenities. But all these accidents, says Freud, are meaningful. People forget-which means that they drive from their conscious minds-incidents that have unpleasant associations for them, such as feelings of guilt. Chance or faulty actions bring them to light again, reveal the character of buried repressions, and in such actions the unconscious expresses itself...
