...failure of marriage has been brought about by self-intoxication: self-consciousness has paralyzed all activity. The social unit of the future must be the pair, man and woman forming a complementary personality. It is unfortunate that the author, after posing the question so carefully, in a beautifully written book of such symmetrical structure, has offered his solution in too great a hurry with too much enthusiasm, with a too easy utopianism. This fault, which ran all through the "Goose Man," is a mark of immaturity, not of the author, but of his generation...
Without presuming to give advice on a problem which is essentially one for Yale alone, it would seem to the average student that the position of the News is no more than logical. To establish each department as a unit would be to strength both; and neither would be to strength both; and neither would lose touch, since the title of Yale University would, as it does now, include both "Sheff" and the college.

After any bad year most of the companies set out to recuperate by developing new lines or by cutting prices. This year Detroit anticipated only...
...would be something striking. Detroit felt that he was gathering himself for an effort which, with General Motors continuing its progress, might well result in the two producing on a "forty-forty" basis in 1927 or in 1937; leaving only 20% of the country's unit production and less than 50% of the dollar volume (of which Ford and General Motors shared 49% this year) to all other manufacturers combined...
