...which cartoonists have been using as a symbol for the Republican Party since 1874 are a satisfactory metaphor.*The G. O. P. is old (84), massive, retentive and, though powerful, often very clumsy. Since 1928, the last attribute of the Republican Party has been its most conspicuous one. First sign of smartness the G. O. P. has exhibited in almost a decade appeared last year in the fight over Franklin Roosevelt's plan to enlarge the Supreme Court.

Some theorists have suggested that the universe may not be spherical but hyperbolic-closed at one end, open at the other. The erection of Caltech's 200-inch telescope...
...every league he's ever been in. There is the usual catch in this case, Bill, as in every other, viz, the boy's a little dumb, in fact he is awful dumb. What will we do? What will we do? Write me quick, because I've got to sign him up quick. You must know some way of getting him in and once we do we'll keep him there somehow. I asked him if he'd like to play for Harvard, and he said, "Awforcrowmikesure," which just shows his enthusiasm. Best, Butch Peterson...
