...Reich Literary Chamber, a subsidiary of Dr. Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry, announced that henceforth Bibles could be displayed for sale only in religious bookstores-of which there are few in Germany. In other shops, the Bible may be sold only on special order. Thus Germany safeguarded its shelves from a history of Jewish achievement, a chronicle of subversive preaching and prophesying, a guidebook to a radical world order. It also protected itself against a competitor of A. Hitler's Mein Kampf. Last month the American Bible Society revealed that sales of Holy Writ, rising steadily during six years...
...product, U. S. college presidents are dubious about their product, are tinkering with new methods of manufacture. Higher education is a rapaciously competitive industry in which small colleges compete for teachers, students and money with big ones, State universities with private, city colleges with country. Threatening the whole established order of higher education are two radical, current experiments: Stringfellow Barr's St. John's College in Annapolis, Md., which has a fixed curriculum of 100 classics, and presidentless Black Mountain College in North Carolina, which has no required courses, seeks to promote learning mainly through art, music...

Sole resemblance to All Quiet the Western Front is that both books are about fighting...
...order issued to his troops before Quebec in 1759, Brigadier General James Wolfe wrote: "Next to valour, the best qualities in a military man are vigilance and caution." Thereupon, exercising vigilance and caution in sending his men up the heights of Quebec, Wolfe valorously engaged General Montcalm's French forces on the Plains of Abraham, routed them. The 13 years of American history which preceded this battle, in the French and Indian Wars, are the stuff of which Next to Valour is made. Its author, John Jennings, 33, began doing research on the period in 1935, in the belief...
