...raucous horns, and each year the towboats nursed some 80 million tons of cargo up through the 46 locks. But as a thing of beauty, the Ohio ran downhill; the sprawling, river-fed cities fed back a byproduct of civilization-raw sewage and industrial wastes -until the great stream became an open sewer. Game fish bellied up and died; riverfront Manhattan Beach, near Bellevue, Ky., was covered with a foul slime; Louisville's water system doused river water so heavily with chemicals that the citizens howled; on its best days, the river gave off the medicinal odor of phenol...
...necessities and tastes have not changed much," he will tell a visitor to his home in West Topsham, Vt. "Did you know that Caesar's favorite breakfast was ham and eggs with a glass of milk?" Auxilium Latinum's 25,000 readers send in a steady stream of inquiries for just such knowledge, e.g., "What color were Caesar's eyes?"* For a coming issue, Warsley plans a reader-requested translation of one of Elvis Presley's screaming hits, in which the key line, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog," would come...

These and the leaden weight of superstition and ignorance make of Indian life, in Nehru's despairing words, "a sluggish stream, living in the past, moving slowly through the accumulations of dead centuries...
...already the inequities of the caste system have been abolished-at least by law if not in practice. The sacredness of cows and the dark night of ignorance will give way, too, they insist, if slowly. But help must come from abroad, and ways and means of rechanneling the stream of Indian life will certainly be discussed this week by Eisenhower and Prime Minister Nehru...
...prodigious feat of analysis, narrative and condensation, Bertrand Russell has compressed the history of Western philosophy into 320 pages. (In a 1946 volume, he took nearly three times as much space.) As ground bait in the chilling stream of philosophic speculation, the publishers have sprinkled 500 illustrations, half of them in color, through this volume. From Thales (circa 624-546 B.C.), about whom little is known, to Whitehead and Wittgenstein, both of whom the author knew well, Russell tells something of the life as well as the ideas of the hundred-odd philosophers who have helped to make the mind...
