Unity? The Quantum Theory is incapable of dealing with the large-scale cosmos. Relativity can treat individual particles only as "singularities" (i.e., anomalies) in the space-time field-a far feebler picture than that provided by Quantum Theory. Many years ago Einstein said he would devote the rest of his life to the research for a Unified Field Theory which would comprehend all natural phenomena. He knows that such a fantastically ambitious goal will never be reached by a straight frontal attack. He has been probing around it, looking for avenues of approach, circuitously groping toward unity. Nearly a decade...
LOCARNO (Dec. 1, 1.925) set Europe off on a decade tinged with "pactomania." The Locarno Pact and sweet "Spirit of Locarno" (which assumed that Germany had kissed France and made up) produced a diplomatic expanding universe of larger and feebler Pollyanna conferences until in 1933 every nation was represented in London at the World Economic Conference. Among statesmen Benito Mussolini was almost alone in openly predicting Pollyanna Diplomacy's inevitable doom. Said he: "It is absurd to expect even the smallest achievement from 66 nations all talking at once...
...interpolation was a meeting between David and Emily, just after Dora's death, in which they confess their love, spend the night together. Reviser Paine omitted this chapter, as well as Emily's subsequent suicide, changed the final paragraphs of Graves's telescoped ending to a feebler transcription of his own. But even with these changes and without Graves's explanatory, controversial foreword, this book is still an amazing performance, should keep bright for many a long year the names of both Charles Dickens and Robert Graves...
...Five of the committee apparently favored hiring Kipke. The Tribune brought the name of Yale's famed Benefactor Edward S. Harkness into the controversy but failed to give his opinions on Coach Kipke. In Boston. Sports Columnist Bill Cunningham sagely decided that Coach Kipke would find Yale material feebler than that to which he had been accustomed at Michigan. The New Haven Journal-Courier revealed that one Ivan Williamson, Michigan end in 1932, had signed a contract to coach Yale's freshman team in 1934 to pave the way for Kipke. The New York American discovered that...
...Liege, Belgium, there gathered last week the steel lords of Europe, members of the International Steel Entente. Potent in theory is this cartel which was formed in 1926 to regulate production, later began to fix prices. But in fact it has become feebler and feebler through dissension among its members, bitter competition from Great Britain and Poland (non-members). Last week's meeting indicated definitely that the cartel's recent threat of competition against the U. S. is ended, indicated most definitely that the cartel was groaning in its death struggle...
