...against the "Young Conservatives" that they do not organize heckler squads to break up Student Union meetings. I remember when Ralph Bates spoke for the Loyalists in Spain, many conservatives were present; but not only did they refrain from hissing, they even did not ask questions that would harass the speakers. They conducted themselves under the ideal that one should attend a lecture to listen, and not to prevent others from enjoying...
...busses the fewer bandits. Flood control and famine-fighting agencies which had functioned piecemeal in China were given coordination. In a land which has existed for centuries in a state of complete disorganization such elementary progress was revolutionary. The armies or bandit hordes of Chinese Communists who tried to harass Nanking from the hinterland were turned by Generalissimo Chiang into an excuse for not fighting the Japanese. He used them as a football coach uses a scrub team to train the regular army of New China-the first Chinese War Machine, complete with European artillery, German military advisers...

...stripling in Chicago, a young man in Manhattan he showed the same kind of promise as the Napoleonic private with a marshal's baton in his knapsack. On the U. S. literary front of 15 years ago, if they wanted a man to encourage the van or to harass the foe from the rear, Burton Rascoe was just the man. This week, when he published his long-promised reminiscences, he was no longer even a front-line sentinel. The tide of literary battle had flowed over him, left him well in the rear, guarding nothing more strategic than...
