...insured students would go to the Infirmary for anything more serious than the grippe. Single students have no real choice. Consequently the new rule amounts to a scheme for plugging the hole in the Hygiene Department's financial like with the fees from married students. According to the logic of the new rule we may expect that the solvency of the dining halls will be insured by making all students, married, single and commuting, pay full board charges. John W. Broderick...
Philosophy & Statecraft. The traditional picture of the philosopher as a bearded oldster is all wrong, too, says Dr. Lehman. The most notable contributions to ethics, logic, economics, political science and esthetics have been made by men in their 30s (metaphysicians run five years older). Spinoza began his major work when he was 23 and finished it by 43; Schopenhauer published his masterpiece (The World as Will and Idea) at 31. But a few of the best-known philosophers were laggards: Kant spent the years from 46 to 57 on The Critique of Pure Reason...
Homer and Jethro admit that Victor, in the past, has been unaccountably worried about their sales. But the boys' Tennessee-style logic is too much for Victor's citified executives.

[Wilson] is building his organization with men of proven ability, not vote-getting politicians. Of course, that makes him a lousy politician -more power...
...when she is babbling on about the beauty of his bravery, Baby sets her straight: "You want to know the reason I'm a fighter? . . . For money. For this car and these clothes. That's all I'm in it for." But before this cold logic douses their brief affair, Laine does a portrait of Baby. She paints him bloody-faced amid a crisscross of ring ropes. "You scare me out of ten years' growth," Baby says when he sees it. "You want to get me killed." But it is Baby who does the killing, without...
