Bigger Game. The obvious aim of the operation was even bigger. On Feb. 16 Truk was first struck, but the Japanese pulled back their naval units. On Feb. 22 a similar blow was made at Saipan; again the Japanese drew back. Although they did not give up these islands-their garrisons will probably stay put till rooted out-this Japanese naval retirement meant that the Japanese had to withdraw their main seaborne supply route farther west, until it was out of U.S. reach...
Demographer Frank W. Notestein drew lines last week to support a mighty deduction: Germany will never again be able to challenge the world; a steady decline in her population will forbid it. The head of Princeton's Office of Population Research put his careful and complex projections in 300 pages of charts, curves and tables called The Future Population of Europe and the Soviet Union (Columbia University Press; $2.75). Then, in Foreign Affairs for April, he drew some conclusions for the layman...
...Leila Drew rang the gate bell of the modernistic house at No. 1770 Calle Tronador. Inside, she passed two babies playing at a yard man's knee. She asked to see Señora Diligenti.

Frequently sued for libel, involved in many a classic...
Ballbearings gave the sport another push, but in the '90s enthusiasm shifted to bicycling. By 1910, however, the increase of figure skating made rollers more popular than ever. Chicago's Coliseum drew 7,000 persons on its opening night. In Washington, the predecessors of bureaucrats skated to work...
