...long as it remains a comedy of manners, Glamour is a workmanlike production. But its sudden change of pace to a tragedy of morals proved too much for Director William Wyler. Typical shot: Linda and Victor assuring each other that they "don't want to be melodramatic" as they say goodby...
...Washington and rocketing grain markets in Chicago, the stock-market gave scant heed. Behind this paradox of rising business and falling stocks bulked one large fact: the indexes of trade are written in the past tense. By last week John Businessman was ready to admit that the swift pace of the spring advance had definitely slackened. For the stockmarket's sorry performance inflationists blamed dollar stabilization and brokers blamed the threat of regulation. But more disinterested observers laid it to the flattening curve on the business chart. Trade was still far above last year but the amazing Easter retail...
...these observations was to make the universe, already expanding in theory, seem expanding in fact. The nebulae appeared to be hurtling away from Earth at speeds proportional to their distances, and the redshift of the farthest whose spectra could be analyzed (about 150,000,000 lightyears) indicated the thumping pace of 15,000 miles per second. Thus the galaxies at the frontiers of the observable universe must be receding twice as fast, and at the unseen bounds of the cosmos the nebular velocity must be greater than that of light...
...heavy Harvard crew showed itself to be capable of maintaining a fast pace and will be a formidable contender in the longer races. Tech gained a small lead over the other boats but could not hold it beyond the half when Princeton took over the lead and Harvard was battling for second place. Princeton hit 34 and the Crimson, raising its own beat correspondingly, passed the Engineers and tried to make up the distance separating them from the Princeton eight...
...Priest's work is much harder. He must keep pace with time. I think that he should be commended for his courageous fight against overwhelming odds. He is asking for fairness and is backed by the U. S. Constitution. We feel grateful to the many liberal-minded men who have the nerve to aid him - men with sympathetic understanding, men who are big enough mentally to know the difference between the trick phrases "Social Equality" and "Constitutional Rights." Congressman Blanton surely has the right to choose his friends. I hope everyone has. But public places do not belong...
