...bombings have been getting the headlines, Economist John T. Flynn has been burrowing deep into pre-fascist history for the story behind the headlines. His findings, as set forth in As We Go Marching, are a model of pamphleteering clarity.

Cellophane records are less bulky and more permanent than recordings on magnetized wire (TIME, May 17); the wire is subject to magnetic interference. Cellophane recording also seems likely to be a good deal cheaper for some time to come than light-wave recording (as in movie sound tracks), even...
