...Robert Redfield, dean of U. of C.'s Division of Social Sciences, is a cultural anthropologist who had the pleasure of discovering, in 1937, a town in Guatemala whose inhabitants had never heard of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Wallis Warfield Windsor, the Dionne Quintuplets. Last week Dr. Redfield declared that the big city pattern, to be thoroughly understood, should be studied in the light of its opposite pole-the primitive tribe-and of intermediate societies such as peasants. Peasants may seem to be primitive in their simple, stable way of life but they have definite urban connections if they...
...Johns Hopkins Alfred Shriver bequeathed $650,000 for a lecture hall. Its equipment is to be "the best obtainable in the world," its walls covered with murals painted by "the best available artists." What caused the greatest tongue-wagging in Baltimore since Wallis Warfield bagged a King-Emperor was the stipulation that one mural shall show the famous beauties of Baltimore...
...Nineties Revue, in which, every Sunday evening since July, grey old Joe has been barking up the gaslit atmosphere of Tony Pastor's and the spirit of Maggie Cline.

Colonel Wedgwood's big heart, like that of his ancestor who backed the American Rebels of 1776, burns for all oppressed peoples, including Spaniards, Czechs and Jews, but he abhors spinelessness. The fighting Colonel last week lit into the Government...
...Warfield Monroe Firor of Johns Hopkins has long worried about this paradox. About 18 months ago he got the hunch that the tetanus toxin which causes the first stage of the disease must be different from the poison which causes the second fatal stage. To test his hunch he injected both small and large amounts of tetanus toxin directly into the spinal cords of more than 60 dogs. The injections were always followed by muscular paroxysms and death, even though 100 times the neutralizing dose of antitoxin was in the bloodstream and even though some doses of the poison were...
