...transatlantic review went the way of all such reviews, but its business took Author Ford to the U. S., which he liked, especially Manhattan. "New York is not America because she is the expression of an ideal vaster and more humane." An amiable but persistent sort, never bearing malice long (he thinks a lack of hatred is the secret of being a novelist) but going quietly on his way "like a nice old gentleman at a tea-party," Author Ford had too much bounce in him ever to be cast down for good. Though for years his books brought...
That this is no ideal solution for the problem is certainly apparent, and it is only recommended on grounds of expediency. The answer to the question must await a happier, more prosperous day. Until then as much revenue as possible should be derived from the Stadium, and in order to accomplish this the H.A.A. should try a price reorganization as soon as possible...
COMMUNISM existed in theory long before it existed in fact; perhaps it is the greatest single strength of Fascism that it reversed the process.

Fascism labours under no such handicap. Its critics are never sure that they are attacking the concept rather than a mere imperfect application of it; and its high priests will appoint neither prophet nor creed to dispel a confusion...
Obviously the ideal solution would be for the colleges to force the secondary schools to give a thorough training in Latin and Greek. But until this is done what is needed is a short cut, which would enable a man to get a good knowledge of the Classics within the confines of a single course. There is only one way in which this may be obtained; namely, by establishing a course in which the ancient authors would be given translation, thus eliminating the great time wasting factor. Such a course would naturally have as a basis the reading...
Some time ago there was a plan to close up Quincy Street and divert the traffic onto Prescott, by continuing this through to Massachusetts Avenue over a vacant lot. While this would be the ideal solution, it is unlikely that the Cambridge police in their present truculent mood would consent to any such radical change. Fortunately the University itself could do much to remedy the dangerous situation. If it forbade parking along the street, took down the great fence that separates it from the rest of the Yard, and replanted the shrubs so that Fogg and the Union would group...
