...called administrative phases of international organization. The Coudenove-Kalergi theory of continental internationalism is utterly demolished, but a sensible functional devolution of international activity is proposed to take its place. Emphasis is justly laid on the atmosphere of technical cooperation as a surer route to internationalism than the pathway of political ideas. The need for international force is sanely handled; a modified method of representation of small nations in the League Assembly is proposed. If one views the present era of economic nationalism from the alarmist point of this is of course all drivel...
...shortcut to General Headquarters (the brain). To the autumn meeting of the National Academy of Sciences at Cambridge. Mass, last week (see p. 50) Dr. Simon Flexner, director of Manhattan's Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, reported that Institute researchers confirmed the widely accepted theory that this pathway is traveled by one of mankind's deadliest enemies-the virus of infantile paralysis...
...pathway, explained Dr. Flexner. is the one by which the sensation of smell reaches the brain. Exposed in the mucous membrane of the nose lie the hairlike end-processes of the olfactory nerve cells. Up these nerves, which are relatively isolated from the blood and lymph, the attacking virus passes direct to the brain's olfactory lobe, thence proceeds to invade more distant parts of the brain and spinal cord. The invaders, injuring motor nerve cells, produce muscular paralysis. The damage done, some of the virus returns the way it came, goes out from the nose...
...shadow of Thayer, riding on the wings of the wind, a novel element broke into the sombre afternoon. Two fleet cyclists bore down the pathway, while far behind, somewhat encumbered by his ulster and muffler, panted a burly Yard cop. The hounds, it seemed, were in full cry, but the quarry was a wheel, and away. The Vagabond has been a cycler of sorts from early youth, and if he has never raced Harvard's finest about the pathways of the Yard, at least he recognizes the novelty of such a chase...
...Fathers have confiscated whole libraries of Algerians from erring sons and have sat up half the night before a fire set for the avowed purpose of incinerating the fame of the great author. It was a simple creed he preached, this Harvard man. Live cleanly, avoid dirt, and the pathway to monetary, armorial, and spiritual success is a broad highway with a 20 percent grade. In those days there was no Comparative Literature...
