...sometimes suggested naively, and not always by women, that the explanation of Hitler's harsh personality and policies is his bachelorhood-his indifference to the charm of women and the lack of children of his own.

Last week, for instance, the Department of Agriculture announced that farm income of $6,400,000,000 in 1938's first eleven months was 13% under...
White politicians in 16 Southern States that lack Negro professional schools, expecting this burst dam to bring a flood of applications from Negroes for admittance to whites' schools, sputtered and fumed. None was more vehement, however, than Kentucky-born Justice James McReynolds, who wrote a dissenting opinion (Minnesota-born Justice Pierce Butler concurring). Stormed Justice McReynolds: "I presume Missouri may . . . break down the settled practice concerning separate schools and thereby, as indicated by experience, damnify both races...
