...everyone should be, most appreciative of the true representation of facts-I believe that such is your intention. It was, therefore, very unfortunate indeed in referring to the death of Rev.

He passed his electrons through a velocity selector, then estimated their masses by their behavior in electrical and magnetic fields. Since then Dr. Jauncey has bombarded the Physical Review with numerous communications backing up his announcement...

Almost every contemporary English and American poet of distinction appeared in its pages or was involved in its battles. But although readers of A Poet's Life can gain some insight into modern poetry, may pick up minor items of literary information (such as Louis Untermeyer's smug dismissal of Eliot's first poems), they are likely to be left wondering how so much literary excitement could have been made so dull...
