...under government supervision, foreshadowed last winter in the report of the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care . (TIME, Dec. 5. 1932), was a convention bugbear. From The Hague had come Dr. F. L. Nord to warn that socialized dentistry in Europe has resulted in lower fees for dentists, friction between them and bureaucrats. Dr. A. E. Rowlett, president of the British Dental Association, sent a proxy to read a paper urging U. S. dentists to accept the inevitable, take control of socialization before it is wrested from their hands. His proxy was Britain's first woman dentist...
...well as can be judged from newspaper accounts, the continual friction at this estimable Manhatten institution is a product of the unfortunate interaction of students with a prepossessing desire to flight valiantly and noisily for any cause whatsoever, meddling Boards with a duty, and a University administration believing in the sledgehammer method of maintaining complacency. There is of course something to be said for the harsh treatment awarded the pacifists. They were so far as can be learned intent only on advertising the fact that they had opinions, without actually caring much about the opinions themselves, They interrupted the public...

Such measures hardly appear a proper preparation for the World Economic Conference...
When the Leonid meteors coursed through the upper air last November, Astronomer Olivier had 14 scattered observers chart the meteor trails. Comparison of data showed the meteors traveling 90 to 142 m. p. h. The faster ones began to glow from atmospheric friction when 84 mi. from earth's surface. At 54 mi. they burned themselves out. Two of the meteors spattered luminescent trains behind them, which Astronomer Olivier's men saw floating 50 to 60 mi. aloft. Wind drove one train upward at an angle of 55 degrees and a speed of 142 m. p. h. Wind...
