Mogul Goldwyn has outdone himself to make Wuthering Heights not only a faithful representation of the book, making only excusable cuts, but a superb picture. To maintain such a consistent mood of grim decadence is no easy job for a motion picture, yet director, producer, and cast have held that mood and made Wuthering Heights into a tremendously convincing tragedy. But of all those who had a hand in the picture Laurence Oliver deserves the largest share of credit. Here is a Robert Taylor with some guts, a Clark Gable who knows...
...March 2, Stalin published an article called Dizziness from Success, called a. halt. But the waves of motion set up did not subside: 4,000,000 families moved back to their farms by May. In the Central Black Soil region-Russia's richest farmland-64% of collectivized families fled home two months after the drive ended. And although, the next year, 58% of peasant households were in collectives, livestock continued to be slaughtered until it was made a capital offense, until the 1933 livestock population was smaller than it had been in 1922, until 5% of collective farm income...
...turns a gigantic somersault, once every 24 hours, because of the earth's daily rotation on its axis. If he lives half way between the North Pole and the Equator, this motion carries him along along at some 700 miles per hour...
...famed Edwin Powell Hubble of California's Mt. Wilson Observatory-accepting the Franklin Institute's coveted medal for "extensive study of the nebulae, particularly those outside our galaxy, as a result of which: the dimensions of observed space have been greatly increased"-announced discovery of a fifth motion in which the man sitting before his fire unwittingly shares. This is a motion of the whole Milky Way relative to other star galaxies glimmering in the abysses of space...
...spectrum, indicating that the galaxies are retreating in all directions.* For them, the apparent velocity is roughly proportional to the distance. But among the nearest galaxies, this ratio does not hold. The Milky Way appears to be approaching some, receding from others. To isolate this motion, Dr. Hubble had to allow for and discount the sun's own movement within the Milky Way-since he was perforce using the solar system as an observation station. After ten years of accumulating data, he gave it as his opinion last week that the Milky Way is traveling among its neighbor galaxies...
