...recently heard an unfavorable criticism of the Symphony of Psalms, because the details of the treatment of the text--the setting of the individual words--was considered inferior to that in the works of Byrd. This sort of comparison is useless as a way of determining the musical value of either type of composition, for in the orchestral-choral concert work, the details of fitting the individual words and phrases to the musical lines is secondary to the general movement of the whole composition.

Deficiency of vitamin B hampers restoration of blood-volume...

Connecticut's Attorney General Pallotti ruled that the dam might legally be destroyed, summarily summed up: "In the case of rational animals we know that the individuals' rights are inferior to those of the State. Following this rule, we must conclude that these animals, being irrational, must also give way to the rights of the State. However, as in the case of human beings, where just compensation is provided for, so in this case these little animals should be compensated." Mr. Pallotti...
