...have seen a specimen of Willoughby's ragfish. Few would care to. It looks crushed and anemic, has few bones. Ichthyologists think it may belong to a family of specialized and degenerate percoids (perch, sunfish). Only six have been taken from their habitat, the deep Pacific waters off the North American coast. Seattle residents and visitors may now see a Willoughby's ragfish in an aquarium unique in the U.

They bring little new matter to the contemporary 'rehabilitation' of Dryden's reputation, though they may possibly give wider currency to that phenomenon...
...record of the Darker Races," published in Manhattan by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, edited by William Edward Burghardt Du Bois. In organization, format, style and objective attitude its "Along the Color Line" news department is the ablest imitation of TIME that TIME has seen. Specimen news items in the July issue...
