...professional hockey games Ottawa and Winnipeg crowds respond to scientific team-play. In Manhattan clever work by visitors often wins great applause. Detroit and Chicago spectators are prone to throw eggs when matters displease them. But nowhere is sheer roughness on the ice a greater drawing card than in bloodthirsty Boston. There one night last week fans got more than their money's worth when the Toronto Maple Leafs trounced the Boston Bruins...
Gradually, however, as commodity prices failed to respond to the New Deal's magic wand, the President's monetary policy veered away from "hard money" toward depreciation of the dollar.

They go recruiting for young ones, sometimes in big secular colleges, more often in small denominational institutions. But fewer & fewer young Pauls respond. A report on them issued last week, the final report of the indefatigable Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry, declares that young Pauls are fewer because college students today lack religious conviction, are no longer sure that the Christian message is better than any other. Even if their faith...
