What the Progressives only suggest every American knows at the bottom of his heart to be the unquestionable truth, a truth he shrinks from with all the repulsion he would have if he found the Loch Ness monster in his bed.

No matter how much it is cursed as an obstacle in the way of modern and efficient government, any movement to alter it is met with the hottest of resentment. When...

To the executives of Paramount, on the other hand, they justified a series of five pictures (Morocco, Dishonored, Shanghai Express, Blonde Venus, The Scarlet Empress), few of which made...
Blaise Pascal, the French philosopher and mathematician, once ventured to suggest that if the nose of Cleopatra had been smaller the whole face of the earth would be different. It is debatable just how much influence the Queen's nose had in enchanting the beloved Anthony but that noses have had no small part in the making of individual and national history will go without question. So must is this fact recognized today that Professor Donald Laird of Colgate University is making a special research on noses. Undoubtedly many treasures are in store for him. To date his study reveals...
