...hand, the much-touted business cycle does not seem much in evidence just now, or to have marked tendencies of any kind. Industrial leaders make optimistic speeches, bankers are acting noncommittal, philosophers and Senators debate, merchants cut rates on unsalable heavy winter clothing and speak sharply of the unusually warm Winter...
...electrified his audience. Just where the trouble lay in Percy Grainger's "Maguire's Kick" one could not tell; plainly, it was played badly, with a superabundance of wrong notes and chords; as plainly, Mr. Copeland realized the quality of his performance and, a bit cynically amused at the warm applause which greeted it, refused to acknowledge the plaudits accorded him.

Life has been continuous through all geologic ages, and has not been periodically destroyed or renewed by catastrophes. Cold climates have probably alternated with warm ones, but there is no evidence for universal glacial or torrid stages in the earth's history, and it is unnecessary to postulate a final winter as the ultimate fate of the globe...
