...remarkable as the wide differences in the two bills was a fundamental similarity of purpose: to lift some of the tax pressure from the point at which wealth is ventured. To many an economist this seemed the surest possible way of offering capital the fullest inducement to get busy and help itself out of the current depression. That the tax reforms crossed the Administration's three-year policy was a matter which did not seem greatly to concern Congress...
...seems foolish to have to point out that playing the desperate game of international sanctions, believing that "the best way to stay out of war is not being afraid to go into it," and believing that war is inevitable anyway are the surest means of getting us involved in European and Asiatic difficulties.

Surest of these four keys to the identity of criminals are fingerprints which differ even in identical twins, but even fingerprints are not foolproof. The late John Dillinger had a plastic surgeon mutilate his fingertips with acid but failed to obliterate their prints because the job was poorly done (TIME, Dec. 16, 1935). The finger prints of another recent murderer, John Hamilton, proved useless to police who found his body a year after his death. Identification of Hamilton...
