If man enjoys free will, he is a responsible being. He knows what he is doing and does it anyway. He is a double menace to society-in plan and in deed. Hang him, If man does not enjoy free will, he is not responsible. He is then a monster-a product of a Frankenstein civilization. Destroy him-before he breeds...

At various times he has filled nearly every editorial post on TIME, had a hand in FORTUNE, LIFE, MARCH OF TIME (radio and newsreel). A keen golfer, fish erman, huntsman, he once made a hole in one at Stoke Poges. In 1937 he broke the North American record for tuna (821 Ib.) off the Nova Scotian coast in a storm. General Manpower was written shortly afterwards, between ducks...
