Ghost Papers. A key paper in the publishers' united front was the Herald Tribune, which was not directly involved in the strike, since its engraving is done outside its plant. Nevertheless, Trib President Mrs. Helen Rogers Reid brought out one issue of an eight-page paper, then announced that she was suspending publication "until further notice." (She then left on a trip to Paris.) The Trib suspended because the Times made it clear that if the Trib continued to publish, the Times might settle independently with the union, thus probably forcing the others to settle also.

Although suspended from teaching by M.I.T., he still draws his full salary as a professor and is allowed to keep his office and use the Institute's research facilities. He hates not being allowed to teach, but the research time has given him a chance to organize and publish the many thoughts, both in mathematics and the history of science, that he has stored away.

The U.S. press is almost entirely autonomous, and the other branches may also publish on their own. But taken all together, the Oxford University Press covers just about everything except new novels. It has published Lord Bryce's Studies of History and Jurisprudence, Stubbs's Constitutional History of England, Sanskrit and Gothic grammars and the first English translation of Pavlov's Conditioned Reflexes. Its famed dictionary (414,825 words) is the scholar...
