...DECLINE OF THE WEST (414 pp.) ?Oswald Spongier?abridged by Helmut Werner?Knopf...
...Infective Heredity." Recent research, said Dr. Horsfall, has shown that gene mutations can be produced by changes in the environment, and the mutant strains will breed true. It began, he recalled, with the little-recognized achievement of three Rockefeller Institute scientists, Drs. Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty in 1944. They showed that if nucleic acid from the genetic material of one strain of pneumococcus germs was stirred in with a batch of pneumococci of another strain, the second strain picked up the inherited traits of the first, and then, "in enduring continuity," bred true from cell to daughter...

It eliminated a tenant from "the poor farm of American journalism"-as the late Oswald Garrison Villard described Boston's dismal and undistinguished newspaper scene (which, besides the two Hearst tabs, includes the Globe, the Herald and the Traveler).

On hand to introduce Sir Oswald at the neo-fascist rally was Expatriate Poet Ezra Pound...
...member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and a Lutheran seminarian, I might say that the Rev. Dr. Oswald C. J. Hoffmann does not speak for "us Lutherans." Many seminarians and, I'm sure, many pastors in parish work feel that our parochial schools should receive federal aid. Since we support public education with our tax money, it is only fair that the federal government aid our church schools...
