...deep, dark blue in daytime (TIME, June 8, 1931). Last week, floating down from a flight of logic. Astronomer Otto Struve of Yerkes Observatory declared in the Astrophysical Journal that the universal sky should not be dark, day or night. It should be light blue. Starlight striking star dust should make the general illumination of cosmic space as blue as the daylight sky seen from the surface of Earth. If Professor Piccard makes his proposed flight from Chicago next July, he will have Dr. Struve's purely calculated vision of the empyrean to controvert...
...honor of the U. S. Government was dragged through the dust last week and its good name trampled on the London streets. Even at home President Roosevelt was flayed as a breaker of contracts who had sullied his nation's integrity before the world...

Only now, through the deep blue dusk, a press of desire comes upon him, he is no more content with the street, the passers-by in their bright clothes, the scented dust that fills the air; but longs for a sudden furtherance...
Turbulence. Meteorological balloons, Professor Auguste Piccard's two stratospheric excursions, and high-drifting, icy cirrus clouds indicate that above ten miles winds blow steadily. Experts have been unable to sight any high-floating dust or haze to indicate any contrary condition. They therefore have predicted that if & when man can fly through the stratosphere, his going would be smooth as well as swift.

But it is questionable whether or not he is sufficiently prepared to keep his calm in a world of raucous dust cover blurbs, eclectic modern poetry, and rumbling Broadway controversies. Had he been able, for example, as a senior, to supplement his thesis and tutorial stack-work with an intelligent course in modern literary trends and criticism he would probably never have to seek shelter in the almost religious regimen...
