...natural condition of all living creatures? The controlling law of the universal struggle for existence so decrees! We have only to look about us to become convinced of the fact. Everything conflicts. . . . 'Economic war' is the current phrase for describing this state of affairs. ... I will not dwell on the pacific phraseology in which we disguise economic war, which, quite as much as armed conflicts, sheds the blood of the weak in order to increase the vital resources of the strong. The case is too plain to admit of argument...
...pawn, but deans and bishops go together. Where there is a bishop, there is a cathedral (in most cases); where a cathedral is, there is a dean. Since deans and bishops must see each other constantly to do ghostly and secular business together, it is well that they should dwell together in charity. Not always is this the case. Last winter Manhattan's Bishop William Thomas Manning, high-church authoritarian, fell out with Dean Howard Chandler Robbins, broad-church independent (TIME, Jan. 14).

Before the day was out various Commissioners had censured as "Sabbath-breakers" not only Prime Minister James Ramsay MacDonald but Their Royal Highnesses the Duke & Duchess of York...
...necessity and humanity of this old-age provision for men who have given their best to education without sufficient pecuniary remuneration to provide for their own retirements scarcely needs further exposition. Nor do we need to dwell on the inconvenience, not to mention the cruelty of making professors with their families change their standards of living as soon as released from the active payroll. The fact, as has been accused, that professors live like nabobs, travel all over the world, and die without leaving a cent should not be invoked to show they could, if more provident, retire in comparative...
