Specialization, so they say, has gone too far when each separate field loses its meaning. Scholars have lost the true perspective; they no longer perceive the vital relations between the individual branches of learning. Education has become a meaningless chaos of information...
...power politics Adolf Hitler exhibits all the amazing intuitive timing and swift footwork that his namesake, Adolf Wolgast, pugilist of German extraction, used to show in the prize ring.

...once wore a red bead in his ear for good luck, General Amaro as War Minister for former President Plutarco Calles created Mexico's modern army. He has never cut much ice as a politician, but last week when he tossed his sombrero into Mexico's Presidential ring (to succeed Lazaro Cardenas next year) with a forthright denunciation of the present expropriation policy, he created a sensation...
