...progress that has now consumed more writing time than Ulysses and Remembrance of Things Past combined. The Cantos are concerned with all history, 20th century history, Pound's personal story, and an eclectic sampling of all he has read. In effect, it is the poetical twin to Finnegans Wake.

Westinghouse has a new thermoelectric baby-bottle minder that keeps the milk cold until feeding time, then automatically warms it. When it is ready, it sounds an alarm to wake up mother.

For the household pets, the new est drinks are Dog Nog and Cat Lap-canned milk for animals, develooed by onetime New York Advertising Man Arthur D. Talbott.
