...undergraduate expenses at Harvard were reduced to a level which would put no burden on the average undergraduate, this argument might be tenable. The fact is, however, that expenses are above this level and that any increase in financial aid for some students is at the expense of high costs to all. If the University chooses to apply the available money to those most in need of it, rather than spread it thin in a general reduction of rents and food prices, there is much to be said for this policy. But it should not lose sight of the fact...
...matter and see it through. This is no pleasant task. His chair in the executive chamber is of the tall straight variety; the testimony of a sincere man defending his name against abuse is bound to be lengthy and tedious. His desire to expedite matters, to confine argument to the Dillon charges, and to exclude the general public merits sympathy. And if three hundred of those excluded sign a petition wanting to know why the hearing is not quite as advertised, he may rest unperturbed. His secretary solved this problem when he told the crowd, "Caesar does not have...

The participation of the backers of such widely used and palpably respectable products as Castoria, Midol, Cascarets, Crazy Crystals, and Ovaltine is the significant fact. This is patently a confession of deceptive advertising which can and must eventually...
...manipulate money for the good of the U. S. is not entirely a question of public sentiment. It is also a matter for expert judgment. So, ever since the Administration began tinkering the dollar, there has been argument whether 1) only a few wild-cat economists approved the experiment, 2) only a few old fogy economists opposed it. To find out how expert opinion stood, the inflationist Committee for the Nation polled economists but declined to publish the results, alleging that economic opinion was "divided." So the Economists' National Committee on Monetary Policy, composed of 90 leading economists including...
