Significance. The most notable feature of last week's stockmarket upturn was that so far as it rested on solid ground it was based on expectation of Government action. Imminent repeal of taxes on capital gains and undistributed profits entitle stocks to enjoy a modest two or three day rally. But for the first time in nearly a year the market ceased to be a slavish follower of production. Time was when the market presumed to anticipate changing trends in production three to six months in advance. In June 1938 the market anticipated production by only a few weeks...
Said she: "Unhealthy conditions, such as ulceration or inflammation which might lead to cancer, were found in about 25% of the volunteers. . . . Thus far, unsuspected early cancer has been found in four of the volunteers. These women have received adequate treatment, by operation . . . radium and Xray.

This week Dos Passos published a book that bids fair to cook his goose for good, as far as the Communists are concerned. Adventures of a Young Man, first of an intended series of contemporary portraits, traces the evolution, in the '203 and '305, of a middle-class radical.

...Other shortcomings : "No new peasant novels, soldier novels, glorification-of-the-Führer novels, sport novels, strength-through-joy novels, no conquest-of-unemployment novels, no good race, blood and soil novels, no go jd poetry." Long ago, Hitler told Germans to "think with their blood," but so far "blood-thinking" has produced almost no good books. Hitler himself is the best seller (Mem Kampf with a total sale of over 4,000,000 copies is still tops), yet, despite the 25,000 books a year, the Nazis are continuing to bottle-feed an undersized body of literature that...
Comes to hand an item about Memorial Day which does not contain any unfortunate air-rifle connotations. In a drugstore not far from Harvard Square someone who evidently combined a penchant for window trimming with an unmistakable patriotic zeal arranged a display window with various medicines and flags. Squarely in the center of this nest of cough-and-cold remedies, salves, and tonics a soulful white cross had been arranged. And, at the intersection of the cross was inscribed...
