Many warmest thanks for the copy of July 6 TIME containing the review of my article in Science, June 26, pp. 621, 622. The speed is quite astonishing and the reviewer has done a masterly job. He knows the subject well and has precisely caught my exact meaning...

Most scholarly salary study to date was made by Economist John C. Baker in the Harvard Business Review last winter. Sampling 100 corporations great & small, Economist Baker discovered, among other things, that in 1929 U.
