Although he may not know which dog is under- but TIME seems about as confused as to what makes a liberal as liberals are about underdogs. A few months ago you had Walter Lippmann neatly defined as at once liberal and conservative, in March you said Paul Anderson could now write "liberal" articles, meaning pro-New Deal, and two weeks ago your Art critic did some fancy theological hairsplitting about Old Liberal Lippmann and New Liberal Lewis Mumford, the sense of which was that they had nothing in common.

...raids, but those Orientals and whites who did not run to air-raid shelters soon learned that this one was different. Out of cloud banks north of Hankow began to dart fast pursuit planes unlike those guarding the big Japanese bombers. They dived, attacked the invaders.

...keep roaming dogs off his lawn, Arthur W. Burns, a Narberth, Pa. electrical engineer, strung a single wire around his property, a foot above the ground, attached the wire to his no-volt electric light system. When a trespassing dog grazed the wire last week, it got an electric shock, ran away yelping. Soon the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals heard about Mr. Burns's electric fence, asked for an injunction to compel him to remove it. Few days later the Philadelphia Electric Co. tested the fence, pronounced its amperage too low to harm dogs...
