After Pierre Etienne Flandin and Paul van Zeeland had thus spoken in clear, temperate language, His Majesty's Government found the honor and good faith of the United Kingdom engaged and tested. Famed British elder Statesman Sir Austen Chamberlain (who was the chief architect of the Locarno Pact and was made a Knight of the Garter by King George for having erected this supposedly unbreakable barrier to war), vigorously jammed last week into British thinking machines his opinion that, since Germany in 1870 "dictated" to France and stripped her of two provinces, Germany in 1936 has no right...

Now prepared by Young & Rubicam, the campaign has reached the point, projected several years ago, "where we would dare to introduce a little ridicule." A recent...
...observed facts, a great number of attempts to connect one with another. But the connections (theorems) themselves have little interconnection. It is as if each existed in a different world, or as if the world itself had no logical unity. To a scientist this is repugnant. He accepts on faith that the world is a harmonious whole; he may choose any way he wishes to connect different phenomena; if he chooses the right one it will fall into place as naturally as a word in a puzzle, and no conceivable experiment will dislodge...
