...Republican Arthur James (1939-43) is 79, still goes every day to his Wilkes-Barre law office. James, a tiny (5 ft. 5 in., 135 lbs.) former coal-mine breaker's boy, once said he "wouldn't cross Broad Street to become Governor." Now he remembers: "The Democrats were in control down in Washington. What a bunch they were . . . When I was inaugurated, there were 1,000,000 unemployed in this state. We had a $90 million deficit. The Democrats knew I wanted to balance the budget. So what do you suppose they did? Every time...
...best schools-for example, Andover and Exeter-are doing all possible to weave facts about Communism into regular history courses; a gold mine of their ideas is David Mallery's Teaching About Communism (National Association of Independent Schools; 75?). The worst are offering separate hate-Communism courses that indoctrinate more than they illuminate. Louisiana, for example, teaches high school students the superheated proposition that all Russians "are our mortal enemies . . . They are working day and night to destroy America...

...collection, musing that Harvard didn't teach the language. Finally he reached his destination, Ang and F. Ang means Angling and F stands for Daniel B. Fearing, a former mayor of Newport who donated, in 1915, several thousand titles having to do with fish and fishing. "What a gold mine," thought Gridley, "everything is here. The sixteenth-century Ius Fluviaticum bound luxuriously in vellum with metal clasps and that Mexican masterwork, Piscicultura in Agua Dulce. To say nothing of Tricks That Take Fish and all fifteen editions of British Rural Sports." On a lower shelf he noticed two copies...
