...happened to issue a biting caricature of Miss Littlefield. Outraged Ballerina Littlefield marched fuming to Philadelphia's Artists' Union to see the caricature, tore it in half (see cut) and (according to press reports) slapped Caricaturist Hirshman. Later Miss Littlefield denied the slap, called it just a push. "My impulse," she continued, "is never to hit. I incline to the tearing of limb from limb...

At some time during college most intelligent men pass through an emotional or intellectual conflict as part of their push toward maturity; perhaps half can be aided by guidance, while the rest must care for themselves...
...Japanese "grand push," launched ten weeks ago to capture the Chinese "Hindenburg Line" and the strategic Lung-hai Railway, was still stalled last week on the banks of the Grand Canal in southern Shantung Province, 35 miles northeast of Suchow. Fast-striking Chinese guerilla units, employing shifting flank attacks, last week struck at all sides of the Japanese forces, spread out in a rough quadrangle in the Shantung area.

Evolution. In tracing the roots of modern physics, the authors found il necessary to go back to Galileo and Newton, and even to mention Aristotle.

Galileo, who shocked cloistered thinkers by making uncouth experiments, concluded that this was not so-that if a moving body was not acted upon by any forces it would continue in uniform motion indefinitely. This was one of the laws formulated by Newton a generation later...
General Franco's great push from behind Belchite went forward all week long. Objective was to reach the coast and split Catalonia off from the rest of Leftist Spain. The Rightists at latest reports had held Caspe against nine Leftist counterattacks. Leftists figured they had blocked any immediate Rightist advance via Lerida upon Barcelona, where Rightist bombers had slain over 1,000. This week Rightist artillery was pounding ahead of Rightist thrusts toward Gandesa, which is the junction point of two highways to the sea. Rightist planes were furiously bombing Tortosa and many other towns up and down...
