Using a fire-engine red Jeepster, Greenberg hustled relief pitchers out of Cleveland's bull pen, got them to the mound in a matter of seconds compared to the ambling three to five minutes usually required. Less colorful, but equally timesaving, were two other Greenberg suggestions which the Indians now follow: 1) make a pitcher wait his batting turn in the "on deck" circle instead of in the dugout, and 2) make him go to the mound more promptly at the start of each inning. These stunts, the Cleveland management figured, had already cut the time of games...
...guarantee that any pension plan would work perfectly and give workers absolute security in their old age. But since the soundness of all pension plans is based, in the last analysis, on the soundness of the U.S. economy, the expansion of Social Security and spread of soundly financed private pen sion plans would contribute a great deal toward making the economy stronger.

...this all makes for amusing reading--but pretty pointless. The "issue"--if it can be called that--has merely served as a pleasant excuse for idle Harvard undergraduates to take callow pen in hand and produce--Look, Everybody!--a Treatise. Students with serious qualms about the furtherance of Joint Instruction might do better by presenting petitions to the proper College authorities, or merely by leaving, than by cheapening their newspaper with a deluge of trite beefs. However, it seemed to us that most of the letters were written in a spirit of levity; if not, their feverish carnestness about...
