...husband is not grounds for divorce, appealed the suit to higher & higher courts which sustained the Nazi husband every time. Last week the German Supreme Court gave the Hitlerish husband his freedom, established that in Germany to dislike the Realmleader is to give one's spouse valid grounds for divorce...
Most of these theories form proper subjects of discussion in college classes dealing with the history and philosophy of government. Some belong properly in the study of economic systems and problems. No rational person can object to their being examined by the students. The only valid objection would be if, either in the form or manner of the presentation, these theories were to be definitely defended as superior to our own tried systems and if, at the same time, their advocates should preach the overthrow of our present government. The proper way to present such subjects is to differentiate between...

...this abyss, Dr. Swann had recourse to modern laboratory experiments which show radiation transformed back into matter. Every physicist under 35, he declared, would agree with him that such demonstrations are valid. What apparently happens is that the quantum of radiation, scoring a hit on an atomic nucleus, vanishes and gives birth to an electron and a positron-i.e., particles of matter. The quantum of radiation is "mathematically irritated" by the atomic nucleus into giving up its existence. Here Dr. Swann ran into the difficulty that in his sea of radiation there would be no atomic nuclei to provide...

If the University limited the amount of money to be spent by its members on weekends or fraternities or clothes, the argument against telephones as an expensive luxury would be valid. Since, however, each undergraduate spends for "luxuries" as much or as little money as he pleases, there is no reason for denying him at least permission to have a telephone if he wants one. That a great majority of the members of the University do want them cannot be denied...
