Although some fortunate individual got $5,000 for thinking up the title of the new feature at the Paramount and Fenway, "Of Human Hearts" really deals with human values, and has little or no love interest.

He and his assistants* experimented, found no harm done to mothers by draining placental blood immediately upon birth, found-as he announced in this month's Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics-that it can be stored indefinitely and that...
Because it deals chiefly with human events, history is a free-flowing record. Subjected to the corrosive influence of set rules, its glamour fades, becomes scholastic, pedantic, certainly unattractive to the great majority of undergraduates. Care must therefore be taken to see that the American History program cannot suffer this fate...
