Ziegler explanis that Nassan Hall has its eye on its sisters in the Big Three when it complains of the "intellectual inertia of the Street," a social organization which has no share in its academic program. But, the author explains, there is no one there to stimulate "an intellectual atmosphere" since it lacks the cross section of life and the "friction of minds" at Harvard and Yale...
...important as further dust control, says the report, is prevention of tuberculosis, which spreads like wildfire through the ramshackle huts. "As a result of overcrowded living conditions it is not unusual for a silicotic father, infected with tuberculosis, to share the same room or even the same bed with his children, even though he is continually showering the air with germs when he coughs."

...supplementary SEC report on insiders' stock trading showed that one of General Motors' unbeatable Fisher Brothers, Lawrence P., sold no less than 11,000 shares of G.

But Shaw goes on to say that...
...Confederate Cabinet, Statesmen of the Lost Cause, is by a Yankee. Pulitzer Prize Biographer Hendrick (The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page) makes these forgotten statesmen the biographical find of the year. Individually picturesque, they made still more picturesque diplomatic history. And Author Hendrick gives them a large share of credit for losing the War. If that Yankee judgment seems harsh, what many a Southerner thinks of Jeff Davis and his Cabinet is not fit to print...
