...evidence of any single find but to the accumulated evidence of many finds. In several places in the West and Southwest, he pointed out, human remains and crude implements had been found in association with certain species of ground sloths, musk oxen, elephants, all long extinct. Weather, Dr. Charles Greeley Abbot, slow-spoken, thin-faced secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and famed sun observer, flatly affirmed before the Academicians that weather repeats itself in cycles of 23 years. All the assembled scientists realized that this hard & fast pronouncement was not based on sheer theory but was solidly documented by weather...
...expensive out of all proportion to the power produced. This is the defect of the commonest solar machines which have appeared so far-huge concave reflectors which focus on a boiler, make steam to drive small engines. One of the most optimistic U.

...Bismarckian manner at conferences, straight-necked Dr. Schacht is genial, kindly, twinkle-eyed among friends. Enemies (mostly people he has outguessed) call him a disgusting opportunist with the vanity of a Pompadour and the ambition of a Napoleon. It is better to call him Dr. Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht, his father having been a cover-to-cover reader of the works of Horace Greeley. Last week Dr. Schacht said...
