Second, and from a more practical standpoint, good hockey teams are built by skating, not coaching. This is demonstrated, assuming all men to be created equal, by the consistant superiority of northerly prop schools and colleges and the number of Canadians in professional ranks. The Varsity could profit from a large number of undergraduates skating regularly from their Freshman year...
...many weeks there have been rumors that Britain and the U.S. were trying to reach some agreement on the standardization of arms, so that either could use the other's weapons in case of war. For an approximately equal number of weeks Communists in both countries have complained that a secret military alliance was in the making. This week the U.S. and Britain officially admitted that arms standardization talks (including Canada) were under way, but denied that any agreements would constitute a military alliance against Russia. "Economy and efficiency" were given as the goal. Results so far: not disclosed...
...George Orwell's Animal Farm, the constitution was finally reduced to one article: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The Stalin Constitution still has its 146 articles, but some are more sacred than others. The three most sacred are Article 2 (dictatorship of the proletariat).

The Roman Catholic weekly, Commonweal, has rated him "perhaps the greatest Protestant-Christian of the 19th Century, a man equal in spiritual stature to . . . Cardinal Newman." But to many a college-educated American the strangely beautiful name of Sören Kierkegaard might as well be that of a new movie star or a kind of smorgasbord. Chief reasons: 1) only in the last decade have most of his works been translated from Danish into English†; 2) his ironical, passionate, introverted...
...good taste, your reviewer means a good, low-down, crude 17th Century Farce whose equal can be found today in any still existent burlesque house, then I am in full agreement with him. For I am quite sure that last night's audience at Radcliffe laughed heartily at what must have seemed to them something quite close to the "Flugle Street" routines of their own experience. "And this does not mean that the Radcliffe performance should be condemned. Indeed, in many places it did certainly achieve, one way or another, the bawdy, rollicking good-humor which its author intended. That...
