...forever running across young men who seem to overlook that they necessarily must commence in their early years by the study and application of ideals to concrete problems. No one occupying the top positions today ever passed up such an opportunity for practical training in their 20's and 30's. Now they are the leaders in their 40's and 50's. Your conference at Yale this spring should offer you a first-rate example of this type of training...

Next day Dr. Steuart Henderson Britt of George Washington University in another address said, that while he was willing to leave the mathematics of ESP to the mathematicians, he was not willing to overlook the fact that Rhine had not published all his scores, or the possibility that some of his subjects had juggled the results to please their mentor. He asserted that ESP cards are so heavily printed that the designs can be told either by sight or by touch from the back, proved this point when he correctly read 24 out of 25 ESP cards whose faces...

The Snyder plan, which would be carried out by the Department of the Interior, calls for a vast airport at each of the 18 superhighway intersections. Nor does Representative Snyder overlook patronage possibilities. He would have the Government let the job to private contractors in sections no less than 10 miles long. Unlike Senator Bulkley, Congressman Snyder would run his superhighways through large cities, where votes are most plentiful. In fact, two of his superhighways rather obviously jog to make...

...fine as it is occasionally lugubrious. Walter Huston and Beulah Bondi, who are cast as Mr. Stewart's parents, impecunious Ohio settlers, bring dignity and feeling to their parts.
