...present-day adherents preach that only by a spiritual union of the New World's Spanish-speaking countries with Roman Catholic Mother Spain can mankind be saved from godless Communists and heretical Anglo-Saxons. In Argentina, where the Peron regime until recently made much of its close kinship with Spain, the doctrine has won many a convert. But last week, hard on the heels of the failure of Argentina's trade agreement with Spain (TIME, April 25), a distinguished Argentine cleric was calling Hispanidad a lot of nonsense...
...Night" in Memorial Hall will be staged. This activity will be "something like a Freshman smoker," Class officials say, with free beer and entertainment by the Class. But any informal gathering of seniors on Class Day, especially with the accompaniment of a beverage, will undoubtedly have more of a kinship to was sails of the past than to a Freshman smoker.

The deeper loss that his approach involves is the loss of emotion that would give meaning to the facts so carefully presented...
...American novelist of his time, and the triumph of his career was that he was able to stand off from the world in which Sister Carrie lived, while still remaining a part of it. His comprehension of its dullness and its misery never destroyed his sense of human kinship with the people to whom it was the norm of life...
