...last week boldly predicted that during the coming century "the state of activity ... of the body [will be measured by] the relative percentages of the different parts of the [electromagnetic] spectrum emitted by different parts of the body." More within the compass of everyday medical thought was another physiological complex which Dr. Crile described last week. The thyroid, he argued, is a power-house for the body; the sympathetic nervous system carries the power impulses throughout the body; the adrenal glands control the power; and the frontal lobe of the brain, seat of intelligence, is the driver. The tempo...
...hard to deduce the reason why these two countries are so opposed to the union. Aside from the complex which both France and Italy exhibit when confronted with a proposal to cement a combination which it took four bloody years to sever, there is, as usual, a powerful economic stimulus to that prejudice. The privilege of selling to the Balkan States, old and new, is extremely valuable; and France and Italy, while rivals themselves, are as one in their determination to keep Germany's fingers as far from the pie as possible. If the Anachluss were to go through German...
...darkly complex, so fabulously remote from the familiar things of human existence is science's probing into the fundamental secretae of the universe-of light, electricity, gravity, matter-that the language of physicists is becoming metaphysical.

S. probers have been mostly content to spin new riddles by unearthing new facts in their laboratories, European physicists have tried more & more of late, by sheer sweat of mind, to coordinate, to reconcile, to reduce the areas of conflict among observed phenomena...

Critical, deep-thinking (he used to teach philosophy at West Point), he startled the War Department last April by announcing before the House Military Affairs Committee that the Army was too complex and top-heavy, that the War Department should be demilitarized and given the status of a civil bureau...
...stand the psychology or philosophy of the Frenchman, German or Italian. Their history has nothing in common with the history of my slave-ancestors. So I will not sing their music, nor the songs of their ancestors. . . . The trouble with the American Negro is that he has an inferiority complex. He fails to realize that he comes of a great ancestry linked with the great races of the Orient. . . . What he should do is try for 'black greatness' and not an imitation of 'white greatness.' I am more than ever convinced that the African civilization dates...
