...Scylla of Communism or the Charybdis of Fascism? Positing that the later Greek City-States occupied a position parallel except for size with the modern state, Professor Holcombe calls in Aristotle to tell us what is possible and desirable. Let the middle class rule! Using the Communist theorist Bukharin's classification of classes he finds that the American urban middle class in alliance with the land-owning farmers can dominate the political scene. The function of this group is to avoid extremes of class conflict and to assert community interest over class interests. Their program should consist of concessions...

Eight years ago an astute French theorist named Louis de Broglie enlarged and vastly complicated the field of subatomic study by endowing orbital electrons with the properties of waves or pulsations.

He replaced the classical equations for electron motion with new differential equations similar to those which describe the wave motion which constitutes light and sound. Thus the atom is conceived as a positive nucleus wrapped in a throbbing field of negative electricity. To expound these ticklish ideas to U. S. scientists slim, smallish, pleasant-spoken...

...Background of Science" Sir James Jeans accepts wholly the point of view of that fruitful theorist Mark Hyman, who was one of the first contemporary speculators to observe that "science is a metaphor." His preliminary discussion outlines an approach to the subject on this basis, which of course involves the idea that science can never positively identify its picture of the universe with ultimate reality, that even an approximation is not certain. In the main body of the book the author emphasizes this fact while outlining the present position of scientists in regard to relativity, wave mechanics, the theory...
