Professor Haney's interest in Economics Statistics is only that of a godfather. A quiet little man of 52 who likes to play a clarinet in his family trio, he writes a daily financial column for Hearstpapers which is noted for its forthright opinions. More than once during Depression Hearst-readers found a stinging Haney article sandwiched between the professional optimism of regular Hearst financial editors. Last week Professor Haney said: "I am widely known for my adverse criticism of the New Deal and of NRA in particular...
America's great moral paragon, Colonel Charles Augustus Lindbergh, has again leaped to the front with one of those magnanimous and forthright gestures that have so endeared him to the hearts of his beloved countrymen. He has refused to take part in the army air investigation, despite the fact that he might gain much power and glory thereby.

Although in itself a completely new work, "The New Background of Science" really amplifies and brings up to date the material presented in his previous books, such as "The Mysterious Universe" and "The Universe Around Us". Embracing wider ranges of speculation, Sir James manages to render them as comprehensible to the layman as is possible without falsifying his account...
