...companies have already done, what many companies will probably do, was Bethlehem's move. Utility holding companies have been madly unscrambling for months. U. S. Steel's merger of its two biggest subsidiaries as Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. last autumn was part of the same pattern. How much he U. S. corporate structure will be simplified before the trend is done no man can say, though one thing is clear: simplification is what the Administration wants and what it is getting...
During his nineteen-year administration as Masachusetts Commissioner of Education Dr. Smith created an organization which was not only the first of its kind but also a pattern for Departments of Education in other states throughout the country. But this colorless and academic accomplishment held no allure for James M.

These are contrasted, in a sequence whose pattern is not clear, with scenes of the horrors of modern society-a lynching, a poetic evocation of the trial of the Scottsboro Negroes. The mood of spiritual desolation expressed in T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and echoed by a thousand imitators has no place or significance in this...
