...sees no quick return to an all-round gold standard. Yet last week the Bank of England's gold reserve reached $885.000.000, an all-time high, which pointed toward some sort of de facto stabilization of the pound-provided the dollar is not devaluated. The currency situation upsets normal trade channels because of a low-currency country's ability to flood a high-currency country with cheap goods despite towering tariffs. Much will be said at the White House about this unfair method of international competition. The Agenda Commission, rejecting bimetallism, recommends increased subsidiary coinage of silver...
...truants under 16 may be fined from $5 to $20. Superintendent Bogan blamed the strike on 1) Spring; 2) Communism. Two "agitators" named Yetta Barshefsky and Rudolph Lapp were discovered to be members of the Young Communists League. Towards Saturday the strike dwindled, and by last Monday the normal number of Chicago's 400,000 students were back at work...
...normal U. S. high-school pupils understand about R. F. C. loans, but that was just what the Chicago teachers were most interested in.

Instead of showing the President returned to normal and ready to repudiate his good deeds at the end, the picture makes him a durably heroic if somewhat implausible personage, handling the affairs of nations as though they were rabbits in a hat. Instead of dating the story emphatically in the future by showing passenger flights, televisioned speeches...
...irrelevant. After four years, however, they will leave, socially unfitted, intellectually strained, and quite as far from the good life as they had been before. Possibly the professorial joy at a competent student is in the nature of a partial compensation; possibly the social Benents of a normal college life have been overestimated; but President Scott should be neither surprised nor shocked if his prodigies, a few years hence, are tempted to turn on him with holy anger and sweep his precious incubator to destruction...
