...strangest thing about Arnold Bernstein is that he operates equally well on either side of the Nazi v. Jew fence. While his Tel Aviv flies the red shield of Palestine on its Union Jack, his Red Star and Bernstein Line ships fly the black swastika of Germany. Only important Jewish shipping man left in Hitler's Reich, he enjoys government protection chiefly because of his distinguished War record, which included an important artillery command on the Western Front and the Iron Cross, first class. Soon after the War this Saxon-born son of a well-to-do shipping broker...
...there is no reason to think, from the evidence we have before us today, that our politicians are different in intelligence from those who destroyed former civilizations." Thus does Mr. Neilson point out the futility of entrusting our social welfare to politicians instead of training experts. "One of the strangest things to me," he says again, "is how we bow down before the dicta of physicists and close our mind to the findings of fundamental economists." But how different, Mr. Neilson, is the predictability of matter and the behavior of the complex organism called man. How comparatively easy to test...
...when she contracted that disease. Serum from Dr. Armstrong's immune blood cured her. Dr. Armstrong's current assignment is last year's epidemic of sleeping sickness in St. Louis (TIME, Oct. 2, 1933, et ante). Last week he was working on the serology of the strangest of the St. Louis sleeping sickness cases when, too ill to continue, he went to the Naval Hospital in Washington. Neither he nor his colleagues know what is wrong. Most striking symptom was a rash down both his sides; most terrifying, the irrationality into which he occasionally lapsed...
...intend to combat teams of superior calibre, we must do it well. Speaking from personal experience, I never objected to rigorous training rules, long practices, early returns in the fall, and superior coaching. At least I felt that I could be proud to play on the team. And, strangest of all, I never enjoyed higher marks in my school career than I did when playing on the team. The overemphasis which the CRIMSON deplores and hopes to avoid, is simply giving to something all that we have. We ought to give it. J. Patterson...
Considered by many the most important advance in aerial transportation since the Wright biplane, the Douglas DC2 bears the name of a mild-mannered, retiring Californian named Donald Wills Douglas. Probably the strangest thing about Donald Douglas is that he seems always to have made money building airplanes. A member of the class of 1913 at Annapolis, he left before graduation, finished up at M. I. T. in 1914. He joined Glenn Martin at Los Angeles as chief engineer, left in 1917 to become chief designer for the aviation section of the U. S. signal corps. In 1920 Donald Douglas...
