...Anglo-Soviet and the Soviet-American communiqués declare that 'complete understanding was reached with regard to the urgent tasks of creating a second front in Europe in 1942.' This statement is of great importance to the Soviet Union, since the creation of a second front in Europe will create insuperable difficulties for Hitler on our front...
Yankee Doodle Dandy (Warner) is possibly the most genial screen biography ever made. Few films have bestowed such loving care on any hero as this one does on beaming, buoyant, wry-mouthed George M. (for Michael) Cohan. The result is a nostalgic, accurate re-creation of a historic era of U.S. show business.

Hinduism came before Buddhism in India, and lasted longer. Of the numerous Hindu deities, Brahma is boss, with Vishnu, the preserver, and Siva, god of destruction and creation, making up the Hindu trinity.

Since most of the expansion was over, rationalization could begin-a grass-roots matter. There could be more subcontracting, a fuller use of existing plants, more local cooperation, less Washington red tape. A blueprint...
...forestall this tendency, the Student Council has suggested the creation of an Inter-House Freshman Committee, composed of one man from each House, three of whom would sit on the Council ex officio. This body will attempt to preserve the unity of the Freshman class, and will arrange such activities as weekly dinners in one of the Houses, where they can meet as a group and have an informal party or hear a guest speaker. It would substitute for the existing Yardling intramural schedule a program of Freshman House athletics, which would not only enable Freshmen to get acquainted with...
