...conference committee and by getting the report delayed until there was small time left for debate, pulled the teeth of the bill as it was passed by the Senate two months ago (TIME, March 15). Prodded by its four peace-at-any-price men-Nye, Clark, Vandenberg and Bone -the Senate voted in March to put cash & carry trade in force automatically at the beginning of war abroad. The conference, ostensibly on the insistence of the House managers, arranged to let the President decide if & when the rule should take effect...
...waiting for some industrial physicist to build a tiny radio tube which will emit a wave eight-tenths of a meter (31.2 in.) long at a frequency of 320 million cycles per second. Such radiation would heat only the patient's blood and not affect flesh or bone...
...private bone to pick had the steel industry, for the President singled it out along with copper, as one of the commodities which had soared too high. The recent $6-per-ton boost, said he, was far more than was needed to cover increased labor costs. But the American Iron & Steel Institute figures that while higher prices will yield an additional $200,000,000, wages will be up $130,000,000; raw materials $85,000,000, leaving the industry $15,000,000 the worse. These calculations were on the basis of 1936 operations. With steel production now running...
...best, least fatiguing posture and movement those unit masses of flesh and bone, she reasons, should counter-balance so that the body's centre of gravity lies in the sacrum (base of the spine).

Another imaginary line should drop from the mastoid, in front of the shoulder joint, through the elbow and little finger (palm turned to the rear), side of knee and ankle. This is achieved by standing with feet together, shoulders held back, abdomen tucked in, buttocks clenched...
...plausible analysis of the U. S. Road to War in 1914-17 (TIME, May 6, 1935 et seq.), able Writer Walter Millis two years ago pointed out what looked to four U. S. Senators-Nye, Clark, Vandenberg and Bone-and to many a plain citizen, like a plain road to peace. If it were true that the U. S. had fought in the World War not to make the world safe for democracy but to save the frog-skins of its merchants and moneylenders, then the gloriously sure and simple way for it to stay out of the next...
