Both Dean Bender and Registrar Sargent Kennedy '28 expressed mild surprise that the fluctuation was so slight. Bender said yesterday that he had expected the figures would show a sharper decline in marks than proved to be the case...
...keep him under control definitely implies an effect from eat ing hormone-treated chickens which just is not so ... A person could take a whole pel let used in treating chickens . . . and it would have no effect on him. There is a chance that he might have a slight nausea for a short time.

It is the work of Manes Sperber, a slight, talkative ex-professor of psychology in German universities, who now lives in Paris. Like many a Communist intellectual, he had a blind spot for Stalin's big lie until the Moscow trials of old Communist heroes. In 1937 he broke with the party...
