...costly ostensorium, which in a glass clip contained the Sacred Host-to Catholics the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ-Cardinal Mundelein gave to the 65,000 faithful the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament as lights in the Park blinked out and thousands of candles sprang into flickering glow. For a mercy, the rain held...
Just as these embers were beginning to glow less brightly the Harvard attackers found a new brand with which to keep the fire blazing. Plan E, their latest point of offensive, struck essentially at local political rule, and since Harvard men were prominent in its organization, a direct connection with the University was made possible. The political cannon trained their muzzles on Plan E, and finding the range to be the same as that of Harvard, banged away all the more happily in that knowledge. The result has been such a cloud of ill will between Cambridge and Harvard that...
Laboratory tests with discharge tubes containing air at low pressures, said Dr. Bailey, show that radio waves of gyro-frequency* would produce a strong glow in the ionosphere (electrified radio mirror) 60 or 70 miles up. The artificial display would be the same in fundamental principle (emission of light by electrically excited atoms) as natural auroras, or as the glow caused in neon lights by electric currents. The scientist pointed out that existing super-power installations, such as Cincinnati's 500-kilowatt WLW (see p. 66) or the Moscow station of equal power, were strong enough to induce glow...
Lincoln is the most living and appealing figure in U.S. history because he expresses with the greatest glow the national dream of democracy and freedom. He is therefore, in addition to being a warm, sturdy, exciting human being, a permanent symbol who serves U.S. drama as the house of Atreus served the Greek, or as Faust and Don Juan serve the writers of the world. Lincoln's story is well-known, well-loved, an advantage for the playwright greater than the most smashing plot would be; for an audience bringing with it a quivering mass of associations is ready...
...Temporary Student Employment Plan receives its meaning and value from the principle that, among financially embarrassed students, not only luminaries, but also scholars with a duller but persistent glow will be allowed to tap the streams of knowledge. Thus, while scholarships at Harvard hob-nob only with the Dean's List, T.S.E. jobs reach down to Group V. Granted the validity of this principle, it follows logically that the Temporary Student Employment Plan must be granted its rightful nook in the sun of the University budget...
