...great day for Harvard rowing. It is hard to trace the reasons for the victory. The bladework of both boats was good, their weights nearly the same.

From then on, by means of a pedagogical disembodied Voice, cartoon and scenic lantern slides, motion pictures and dialog between fictional and actual characters, Power grows into a loud and lively indictment of the U. S. power business's many frauds and follies. By taking stock shares out of one pocket...
