...bunker. Where once a crude French fortress stood, not a single building or even a tent breaks the bleak horizon. Often the only signs of life are a horde of bold rats and a few cats. "The men think they keep the rats down," grumbled one officer. "I suspect they share the garbage...
...obliged to undertake an inflexible promise of secrecy if they hoped, by their considerable eminence and persuasiveness and not by opposition, to influence Johnson in a candid discussion. This hope need not have been a futile one; it was certainly a long shot, but well worth trying. I suspect that they themselves offered to seal their own lips for its sake. And then came the leak...
...point in suggesting that Dr. Alfred Kinsey's study was criticized primarily for the small sample used. A sample of 5,300, properly chosen, is ample for most purposes.

But with industrial plants running at a slack 85% of capacity (v. last year's 91% peak), they also suspect business of using any pretext to raise prices in order to reap a windfall of earnings as the economy picks up. Reflecting this root distrust, Ackley recently took special pains to chide the rubber industry for following a strike-forced labor settlement that was "clearly out of line" with price...
