...Hitler's two "also-ran" fellow dictators. Mussolini is very much the family man, but there is no evidence that Signora Mussolini or the several little Mussolinis have had any softening effect on his political methods or tempered his jowly egotism with a sense of humor. The most power-crazy and pitiless of all the iron-chewers, Stalin, has taken time off from purging to marry twice and beget a daughter,* still in her teens, but if his love for her has made him go down on his hands and knees and say "Woof, woof!", we are not getting...
...people of the U. S. have the right and power to enforce morality and justice in accordance with peace treaties with us. And they will. Our Government does not have to use military force and will not unless necessary...
Present for the opening in smoky, smelly room No. 506 at WPA headquarters were Deputy Administrator Aubrey ("Keep your friends in power") Williams, Assistant Administrator David K. Niles.

The effect of locking up $47,000,000,000 of public purchasing power would be highly deflationary. Actually, the money is not being locked up but lent to the Government. This means that by 1980 the Government will owe the Social Security Reserve 21% more than the present big national debt (now $38,600,000,000).* It means also that by that year the whole...
...competitive human world, a common platitude says that a man needs "backbone" to succeed. In the competitive animal world it is different. Scientists have other criteria than fame, money and power for measuring biological achievement. If they were polled they would probably award the gold medal of greatest biological success to the arthropods, a phylum (subkingdom) of invertebrates which includes crayfish, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, water fleas, barnacles, spiders, scorpions, ticks, insects. Reason: The phylum of arthropods (the name means "jointed legs") has the greatest number of species and individuals, occupies the widest stretches of territory and the greatest variety...
