...with all his charges, this one contains some truth. No doubt the China trade does help support the Chinese war effort. But to suggest, as McCarthy suggested, that China would be crippled by the withdrawal of this commerce is fatuous. It ignores Russia's ability to help China and China's ability to help itself. Worse, the Senator ignored with impunity the fact that this trade is a must for the Western nations which engage in it. Certainly there would be no such trade if those nations could do without it. If they were deprived of it, their war efforts...
...Race. "Under the spate of awe-inspiring vocables, the layman naturally felt that he too must dignify his doings and not be left behind in the race for prestige. Common acts must suggest a technical process. Thus we get 'contact' and 'funnel' as workaday verbs-and 'process' itself: 'we'll process your application' -as if it were necessary to name the steps or choices of daily life with scientific generality . . .

Therefore, the remains that have been found in Africa suggest to Dr. Dart that Africa was the place where humans gradually evolved, with many false starts, from some prehuman stock...

At present, the Government has $4 billion tied up in price-prop loans and farm products, an alltime record. Among the stocks on hand: 426 million bu. of wheat v. 133 million last year, 457 million bu. of corn v. 280 million in 1952, 426 million Ibs. of dried milk v. 31 million. In an effort to get rid of the surpluses, the U.S. is willing to sell...
...Fury (Columbia) is an oater which manages to suggest that, underneath, it is an allegory about the international situation-or perhaps even about the whole human condition. One minute it sounds like any other he-went-thataway scenario, and the next minute the hero and the villain are murking around in long words about good & evil...
