...able, scholarly managing editor, Erwin D. Canham: "The Monitor has been investigating anti-Jewish violence in Boston for many months.

...Filariasis, a worm infestation, not usually deadly, but bad for morale. Some marines in Samoa got it. In a man's blood, the filariae become very slim worms from one to two inches long, may do little harm; but if they plug lymph-gland ducts, may cause elephantiasis (huge swellings) in scrotum or legs.

I have never believed that history is solely a matter of economics, for there can be ecological, juridical, libertarian, moral, religious, philosophical and idealist interpretations. What is the harm in knowing how much real estate George Washington possessed? And why not admit that Robert Morris was an iron manufacturer and a West Indian trader? If we know these facts, and others like them, we can begin to understand the animus of Jacksonian, Populist, Bryanite and Bull Moose debtor classes against many...
