...this peculiar setup often leading to excessive maladjustment between the fighting services. Last week they slugged together to bend back the Chinese line in the country zone outside Shanghai so sharply that it would be impossible for Chinese forces to continue to hold Chapei in the urban zone (see map, p. 19). Tazang was the town at which the Japanese decided to push big, after bombing and shelling it for nearly a month, and last week their assault was highly mechanized...
Dividing Spain's war into five "fronts": Aragon, Teruel, Madrid, Estremadura and Andalusia (see map) is merely a journalistic device that has been adopted by both sides. There is a sixth and quite separate front, that in the province of Asturias on the Bay of Biscay where last week Rightists were crawling over tremendous mountains ever closer to Leftist Gijón, but the five consecutive fronts form a writhing battle line that snakes a full 1,000 mi. from the French frontier near Jaca round Madrid and ends in the Mediterranean Sea between Málaga and Alicante...

Even so, conquering General Count Juichi Terauchi's army had gotten slightly behind its timetable, the Japanese...
...such tough-minded critics as Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Review. In The Advancing Front of Science, Gray does not confine himself to physics. It is, he says, "an attempt to report news rather than summarize history." In it readers will find such various nuggets as the heredity map in the giant chromosomes of the salivary glands of the fruit fly; the pros & cons of the expanding universe; sensitizing dyes, such as kryptocyanine, which make photographic emulsions sensitive to light far beyond the bounds of the visible spectrum; the measurement of the proton-proton reaction within the atom...
