...Nazi-Fascist eastbound steam roller, the very countries which Britain has tried to persuade to join up with her. To belatedly aroused Britain and France, Italy's action was possibly more serious than Herr Hitler's recent challenges. In pushing boldly into the Balkan Peninsula, traditional spawning ground of wars, the Fascist military machine had come perilously close to clashing with the "vital interests" of the British and French Empires. Greek naval bases used by the British Navy are next door to Albania; beyond the Balkans are the rich oil fields, the coveted markets of the Near East...
...teaching of art history is discontinuous, ignoring the ground swell but making much of the wave-crests--schools, movements, isms, styles, which succeed one another much like the ducks in a shooting-gallery. To evolve a philosophy of art history which would give meaning to change and value to accomplishment, often requires that we study phenomena which are not, in the orthodox, artistic at all.

Thus one avoids the charge of being an academic jack-of-all-trades, and remains the specialist behaving...

As Pilot Claude Seaton turned back to the field the disintegrating motor apparently ripped open its cowling, forming such a centre of head resistance that the ship slewed sidewise into the ground. Like the Braniff crash, the crack-up of a Northwest Airlines Lockheed near Miles City, Mont. Jan. 13 was due to mechanical failure. Last week CAA announced its apparent cause: a fire, originating in a floorboard compartment in the pilot's cabin through which passes the cross-feed emergency gasoline line...
