...happy in his job, and meanwhile he had been making a reputation in little magazines as a talented short-story writer. This fact, however, he kept a close secret from his business associates. His stories were published under the pseudonym of William March. His literary output and reputation, though not his literary earnings, increased rapidly. In 1933 appeared a War novel, Company K; in 1936 his powerful novel of Georgia mill hands, The Tallons...
...there has been too much denunciation of Chamberlain and not enough realization of one fundamental fact: time is on the side of the democracies. If, last September, Germany and Italy had at least three times as many effective fighting planes as England and France combined; if Germany's monthly output was greater in almost the same proportion; and if, at the same time, England had plans to double her fleet and equal Germany in planes and military equipment by 1912--then Chamberlain did not "sell the British Empire for a cup of tea." Germany soon found that, because...
...this week headlined: BUSINESS IN 15-WEEK SIDEWISE MOVE; BREAK EXPECTED TO BE ON 'UP' SIDE. Evidence to support this conclusion abounded. Such sensitive indexes as scrap steel and commodity prices were up. Steel production at 55.1% of capacity was near the year's peak.

And the Dow-Jones industrial stock averages climbed to 149.49, a gain of 13 points from the year's low on January...
...term "snap" has been used rather too loosely by undergraduate authorities to designate any course which requires less energy output than the average. In a more precise terminology, there is a very small and exclusive category of "snaps," which can fulfill the wildest dreams of the party-monger and the crew man. These courses can usually be detected by a survey of enrollment statistics. Thus, when six hundred percent more students suddenly find their souls stirred by the esoteric beauties of Chinese literature, there is cause for more than conjecture. And likewise there is when, within a few years...
Production of antiaircraft guns and first-line fighting planes still lags below Britain's output in 1918. There has been no rush to fill the ranks of Britain's little army. Civilians who were scared stiff in September by the threat of Adolf Hitler's bombers were recently informed that there was neither time nor money to build deep, underground bomb shelters, that steel shanties to ward off splinters would have to suffice. Even the long trenches gouged in London parks and golf courses for air-raid "protection" have been allowed to crumble and flood...
