Europe's leading Protestant theologians are Karl Earth of Basle and Emil Brunner of Zurich. For years their religious arguments have set the world's theological seismographs to jiggling. Last week, through a paraphrase prepared by Dr. E. G. Homrighausen of Princeton Theological Seminary and published in the British Christian News-letter and the U.S. Christian Century, the English-speaking world was registering the rumbles of another Barth-Brunner set-to. The timely subject: Protestantism v. Communism...
When Johns Hopkins asked M.I.T.'s Karl Compton to submit a list of candidates, he sent back only one name-Bronk's. Largely on Compton's say-so, the university scarcely considered its 100-odd other candidates. Johns Hopkins was getting a man who once advised universities to hold firm against those who thought they "should assume the functions of a trade school or provide entertainment for the masses," and against parents who, having failed to bring their children up properly, "insist that the university become a school for manners or an elite reformatory...
...study of different kinds of courage under sharp melodramatic stress, this is a remarkably good screen play. But the script is far surpassed by the way Huston and his cameraman Karl Freund and the players get it on to film. Huston takes such expert, type-tired players as Bogart, Robinson, Barrymore, Trevor and Gomez, and gets such performances from them that they seem like new people.

Single Minds. Erica Morini by now is used to the pigeonhole, but not resigned to it. One of the first times she played in public, for Austria's Emperor Karl, the Emperor was agreeably surprised-not because she was a girl, but because she was only eight. He gave her a doll. The first time she was tagged as a "woman violinist," she says, was in the U.S. Now, at 40, Erica says, "I hate that label. It's obvious I'm a woman, but what does that have to do with it?" She is well aware...
...Boston's Symphony Hall last week, President Karl T. Compton paused in his earnest degree-dispensing and beamed delightedly as Graduate Jules Samuel Levin stepped forward. Stocky young (20) Jules Levin of Miami Beach, Fla. is quite possibly the outstanding college graduate of 1948. In four years at notoriously tough Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he had racked up a perfect 5 (straight A's)- the first in M.I.T.'s 83-year history. His modest explanation: "I picked up a little momentum...
