...safe guess that his Cabinet, like all French Cabinets before it, is in a bad way, and that before long there will be more hair-tearing and grinding of molars in the Chambers. The support given to an emergency Cabinet, and the prestige of its veteran, good-natured leader, can only stave off for a time the woes to which France's parliamentary system dooms her. The wide acclaim of Doumergue's accession has nothing to do with the case, for he is wedded to a Cabinet system with a caricature of responsibility. Only the President, with senatorial approval...
...fact the presumptive cases include thousands of veterans who can trace their disabilities directly to service origin, and present unimpeachable proof thereof. But variations in post-War employment conditions, loss of records through death of physicians, inability to locate witnesses known 15 years ago, and other normal factors complicate the problem of proof for many men. The regulations adopted under the 1933 Economy Act very virtuously read that the benefit of a reasonable doubt, on such proof as was presented, should go to the veteran; but other clauses so restricted the application of this rule that its interpretation resulted...

That these should have been forgotten, even temporarily, is a beautiful tribute to the power of an ideal. Human frailties, vanities, all the pathetic weaknesses of politicians and capitalists recede into the deep diminuendo of momentary oblivion. Oklahoma and Continental Can are at one! Osanna...
...spearhead is triangular. The two faces which meet at the attacking point are experimental physics and mathematical physics. Men on the experimental front are generally grouped under captains. A British veteran of 30 years and the accredited proponent of matter's electrical structure is the captain of Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory, Ernest Rutherford, ist Baron Rutherford. The two great U. S. captains are Caltech's Robert Andrews Millikan and the University of Chicago's Arthur Holly Compton, cosmic ray specialists and milestone men in the history of the electron.
