Something like that seems to them the logic of the situation. The logic is derived in part from shocking news-hitherto completely unsuspected in Britain-that the Englishmen in Singapore were all very rich, drank a great deal went to nightclubs and failed to inspire the natives to die for the Empire. The question of whether the natives of Malaya should have been given their freedom had apparently not been brought up. But it was indeed recalled that the Indians had requested freedom some time ago. And it was excessively annoying" to discover that such a simple-and presumably inexpensive...
...accused the Mirror of divulging military information (hitherto the sole topic of British censorship). The crime of the Mirror was in criticizing the Government, the productive effort and the efficiency of the Army-criticizing it continuously, bitterly and intemperately. (Sample attack on the Army by the Mirror's "Cassandra": "At the top you have the military aristocracy of the Guards' regiments with a mentality not very foreign to that of Potsdam.

All old sections were packed into three new ones: Air Force, Ground Force and Supply. On top remains Chief of Staff George C. Marshall...
Streams of stars, which extend in spiral arms from three-fourths of the other galaxies (comparable to our Milky Way), have hitherto been considered ejections flung from the galactic center (see cut). But no, quite the contrary, announced Harlow Shapley. The galactic tentacles are really condensations, and four-fifths of a spiral galaxy's light comes not from its arms but from the background material out of which the arms have curdled...
