...admit-in fact I protest-the "rumpled pants"! I've seen him nearly every day for the past three weeks . . . and not once with "rumpled pants." However, I am told he might have had "rumpled pants" one day, for during a downpour he took off his topcoat to put it around a young woman who had none. Perhaps that was the day. And for that act of chivalry you have publicly proclaimed him a wearer of "rumpled pants"! Tough on Ted 'cause it isn't true. He's most particular about his clothes...
...building industry, where restraints of trade are found from cellar to roof: producers of building materials, distributors, contractors, subcontractors, labor unions, and in local legislative restraints of trade, such as building "regulations" that only thinly veil protective tariffs set up for the benefit of local monopolies. (Arnold cites the fact that the plumbing in the magnificent $10,000,000 Department of Justice building is arbitrarily ruled not good enough for private homes in some cities...
...where adversaries are hardly at grips, it is hard to grip war's facts. Most tangible important fact of last week was the statement (upon being landed safely in Great Britain) of Captain F. C. P.

This identity could still be doubted by people who know that German sailors wear bogus hatbands some...
...French charged, a fake accident staged and executed by Hitler's own henchmen to bring the Führer close to martyrdom and thus rally waning popular support for the regime? Was it another Reichstag fire? What about the mysterious and providential changes in plan? What about the fact that not a single big-shot Nazi remained in the beer hall even though the Führer's prompt departure was unforeseen? Despite these startling coincidences, this theory was hardly more credible than the German charge that Winston Churchill sank the Athenia...
...there is no reason why the Student Council report should lie dormant. It is, in fact, based on the same principle as the "area" plan--the fight against too complete segregation of separate branches of learning. The Council's five broad survey courses bear a close relation to the new fields of concentration envisaged by the Faculty committee. The professors now working on the "area" project would find that the Student Council is in agreement with them as to the direction Harvard education must take. If anyone is going to act on the Council's report, they are the ones...
