...subject of such superheated ban-nerlines last week was a new colored movie process called Rouxcolor. Though hardly as colossal as the excitable French puffs made out, the first Rouxcolor films made moviemen sit up & take notice. To many they seemed sharper and more nearly faithful to natural color values than Technicolor itself. Furthermore, Rouxcolor is an impressive cost-cutter: it can be made with an ordinary black& -white camera equipped with a special lens-at about the same cost as black-&-white film...
Four in One. Two brothers, Armand and Lucien Roux, both opticians, have spent 17 years at the process, working in their fifth-floor laboratory in a drab building on the Left Bank. Fortnight ago they invited famed Writer-Producer Marcel Pagnol to see some test shots. Greatly excited by what he saw, Pagnol (The Baker's Wife, The Welldigger's Daughter) asked to take some color shots of his own.

It became Veblen's fate to fall between two stools-between those who thought he was just funny and those who thought he was plain dangerous...
...prose positively hated Veblen when he leaned forward, assumed a poker face and gravely asked them: "If we are getting restless under the taxonomy of a monocotyledonous wage doctrine and a cryptogamic theory of interest, with involute, loculicidal, tomentous and moniliform variants, what is the cytoplasm, centrosome, or karyokinetic process to which we may turn...
