...hold 15 memberships. Last year William Randolph Hearst Jr. was elected to the honorable but empty job of an AP vice president. Roy Howard, too, as head of Scripps-Howard Newspapers, made his peace with AP several years ago and now controls six memberships. Last year he visited the Orient at the same time as Kent Cooper, AP's able general manager, and the two were wined and dined together like the best of friends...

Not until last year did Philippine business men really begin to discover how much balatoc there was in the bantay and what...

Not until the seventeenth century was the requisite adjustment made through the Christian doctrine of individuality, and now that the doctrine of individuality, has been dulled into the concept of individualism, we may expect the Christian doctrine of equality to orient the churches with a new economic society. So much had been pointed out by Leo XIII, but institutions are more sluggish than doctrines; Dr. Niebuhr has attempted to show the probable behavior of ecclesiastical institutions under the impact of an economic and political crisis...
