...Consider: temperature 98°, humidity 34%, gives humiture 66. Now assume temperature 34°, humidity 98%, gives humiture 66. I hasten to assure you that "the man on the street" will in no wise feel the same. My best observations so far are: multiply the temperature by 5, add the humidity and divide the sum by 6 to obtain the tempidity...
Frequent and widespread has been the expression of contempt for the blundering and faltering progress of the democracies in the present crisis. In history's most gigantic poker game, Hitler plays a winning hand because he has the confidence of a nation behind him, while Chamberlain and Daladier feel the depressing and distracting pull of public opinion. With French Communists threatening to strike rather than submit to national defense measures and British opposition flaring against the Cabinet's City policies, the Reich stands firm and united. Seemingly Fascism has once more demonstrated its ability to outmaneuver democracy because...

Aside from Jerome Kern years ago, Rodgers does not feel...
...makes me feel old to reflect that I know one member of the Class of 1842 personally. Eleven of them lived into the present century, the last dying in 1911. So if the same average holds good, twenty percent of 1942 can hope to see New Year's Day 2001. Let's hope they will find that year a little more peaceful than this year of unemployment, war, and hurricanes...
