...Stanford's Albert Léon Guérard, 65, professor of literature, transplanted Frenchman, prolific critic and author (Art for Art's Sake, Preface to World Literature, France, a Short History, some 14 other volumes); and Thomas Addis, 64, Scotland-born authority on Bright's disease and other kidney ailments, winner of the Scottish Cullen Prize "for the greatest benefit done to practical medicine in the past four years...

Oscar, he insists, was an "innately happy" man, who "never experienced a day's unhappiness until he was 40 years old" (1894).

Last week Russia, which long ago branded equality as "egalitarian" heresy, took another step toward hierarchy. True to Philosopher Yudin's axiom that to preserve the Red Army means to preserve the state, Generalissimo Stalin issued a whip-cracking new set of army regulations. The statutes ordered Red warriors to "respect seniors in command . . . observe strictly military conduct and the salute...
