...orchestra, the Piano Concerto in A major and an Andante and Fugue by Mozart, and Ravel's La Valse. The practice of arranging orchestral scores for piano is one which can be very reasonably objected to on purely aesthetic grounds, for the music is certainly distorted in the process. The justification for such arrangements is a practical one. They are extremely convenient both for the student who can play them without orchestra and for the concert-goer who wishes to gain greater familiarity with music which is done only rarely on regular programs...
...with both feet. Mr. Willkie observed that when Congressional committees were harrying him and his fellow businessmen, he had kept mum lest he be accused of self-interest. But, said he, "Obviously the men under investigation now [by Dies] are men of completely contrary belief to mine. . . . The democratic process cannot go on and will be gradually undermined if men can be put on the witness stand without protection of counsel and without any adequate opportunity to answer. There is no more cruel way to destroy the reputation of a man than by publicity, by inference and by innuendo...
Last week Dr. Pincus exhibited a further marvel-a fatherless rabbit, born from an ovum which had never encountered the male fertilizing element at all. This process, called parthenogenesis, occurs naturally among certain insects, has been artificially induced by man in sea urchins and frogs, but never before in a mammal. Dr. Pincus used high temperature, hormone treatments and hypertonic salt solutions* to fertilize the ovum, and his canny microsurgical technique got the egg well started toward normal development in the host mother's reproductive tract...
...Raver boasted last week at the White House that demand for Bonneville power is currently twice its output.) Instead of coal (used in blast furnaces for iron-making, in open hearth furnaces for steel), West Coast steel plants would depend on electric furnaces fueled by new Bonneville generators to process iron ore (or scrap) directly into steel. A January 1938 War Department publication noted that stainless and other special electrolitic steels for war purposes are "peculiarly adapted for production in the Pacific Coast low cost power areas...
...Neutrality Act recently passed by Congress is the latest, most up-to-date and streamlined weapon for keeping the U.S. out of war. It is a product of one of the outstanding modern examples of the democratic process of debate, an unhurried and penetrating discussion of the subject by great minds all over the nation on both sides of the question. It would be a tragedy if the Act, so carefully and thoughtfully formulated should fall short of its purpose through faulty administration...
