...seldom that I give expression to a criticism of matter appearing in the press, but the absolute lack of necessity of the reference which you made to Greensboro in your article on Winston-Salem, p. 18, TIME, Aug. 23, impels...
...anomalous in Britain, for the coal strike, bringing leisure for ablution, has lasted through the summer (TIME, May 10 et seq.). With one million miners still on strike, with their four million dependents living on hand-to-mouth doles, with British production at last seriously curtailed by lack of coal, a conference was held last week between miners and owners. Britain waited expectant while President Evan Williams of the Mine Owners' Association conferred directly for the first time since June with President Herbert Smith of the Miners' Federation, at London.

...famed policy of "passive resistance?" Or sociology?-Gandhi's profound knowledge of the "caste" system was none the less because in 1920 he had failed to persuade the masses and the "untouchable castes" to treat each other as "blood brothers," thereby causing his political defeat through lack of unity.

And how effectively their convictions (or lack of them) might be refuted by a treatise soundly but exclusively sociobiological, is also a question. Nevertheless, Biologist Popenoe's sound book, the first in its field, is far more than an academic disputation. It is advanced with the prime intention of promoting study of the family, per se, through the biologist's lens. Consequently it is packed with orderly, unsensational, valuable facts-the cell- scientist's facts...
