Its weakness is a traditional reliance on Schrecklichkeit (frightfulness) which-though it won at Munich-is apt to backfire by stiffening instead of breaking opponents' morale.

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 at a pace of 100 miles per second.
