...debate that counts, in either house of Congress, comes when a bill is being amended. Then legislators are working spontaneously with their wits and tongues to shape and perfect legislation. Full-dress debate, such as last week's in the Senate, is almost as empty of reality as the cook books and tracts that filibusterers read into the Congressional Record.

President Roosevelt's ends were known, definite, unneutral: by every means short of war,1) to help Great Britain and France win their war, and 2) to drive Adolf Hitler and Hitlerism from the world. He defined these aims well before World...
Dick Wing was resting yesterday afternoon, but he should be pretty nearly in shape if he was spared from the daily jog. Mal Mackenzle and Don Burwell are both entirely new to cross country. Burwell never having done any running at all before. Jaakko likes the way both of them...
