...side from mines, steel mills, realty. Wiped out in the panic of 1893, he went to the Orient to recoup, spotted a chance in Korea where rich ore deposits were being crushed by hand, got concessions, sent for U. S. machinery. First to grow cotton in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, he unfolded one evening at the White House dinner table a glowing description of African big-game hunting which resulted in Theodore Roosevelt's famed expedition...
...profile member of that sizable group of English scientists who occasionally venture out of the laboratory to explain the latest vagaries of science to fellow Anglo-Saxons, Sir James Jeans happens also to be one of the most lucid and forthright. Although in itself a completely new work, "The New Background of Science" really amplifies and brings up to date the material presented in his previous books, such as "The Mysterious Universe" and "The Universe Around Us".

Texas Corp. is the only other U. S. company with important Eastern interests and they are relatively small. Last spring Russia started to flood...
When a Swiss fellow-worker bullied him, Hamp profited by the Anglo-Saxon atmosphere to take boxing lessons, bloodied the Swiss's nose. Hamp learned English, read whatever he could get. "I went through all printed scraps in lavatories-in fact, I owe a large part of my education to the w. c." The Dreyfus case, of which one of the results was a workers' free university at Belleville, gave Hamp his chance. He left England's kitchens, headed home towards a rosy future. "Dazzled by my imagination, I was heading for a poverty which would grow...
