Besides this criticism of capitalism in its present state, Professor Rogers adds five other reasons for the existence of our nine-year business dive. The freezing of capital by banks which are afraid to invest in business enterprises is a contributing factor to the reluctance of industrialists in maintaining and increasing output. Related to both of these evils is the current mutual antagonism between business and the administration, which Professor Rogers cites as another guarantee of a long depression...

What psychiatrists think about that was put simply by Bellevue's animated, mop-haired Dr. Paul Schilder: "A pathological person is forced down under the surface of everyday reality and can't get back.

For the temperature of Gamma dropped from 28,800° F. to 15,660°. Last May the star attained its greatest brilliance, suddenly "took a nose dive," said Dr. Baldwin, as its light ebbed. Paradoxically its heat increased. It is now at normal temperature again. At present it is racked by tremendous disturbances and is "blowing away its atmosphere." Most logical explanation, said Dr. Baldwin, was that Gamma's compressed atmosphere expanded so rapidly that its gasses...
