...this will come. I think it must come through Spirituality, through the awakening of all Russians to universal oneness with the Spirit Supreme. . . . That is my doctrine, the subject of my books and lectures. . . When that awakening has taken place Russia will have found herself. Then there may be a Head-some one man above others (gesturing in the air)-but perhaps very different from the Tsar. What will it matter, then...
...five endure a continuous airplane flight? How many days can a motor keep the plane going? The Army wants to know. So do motor and plane makers, passenger and freight carriers. One condition of such tests is that the plane be fueled in the air. An initial experiment took place at Boiling Field, Washington, last week.

To the extremists on the one hand he is making the most significant music of the day. To others he is out of place and ineffective away from Tin-Pan Alley. Certainly the Concerto, trying to be important, was unoriginal and dull. But with An American in Paris he has done better and dared to be himself in the presence of such betters as Wagner and Cesar Franck. Only Walter Damrosch seemed...
