This unfortunate situation reveals two fundamental weaknesses in our American educational set up, which tend to destroy the effectiveness of our universities and lower their scholastic standings. First is that there are not enough young men in the country who can afford to pay for a college education, although there are many who have the ability. Second is that there are too many sub-marginal institutions which cannot operate at a profit, and thus are unable to keep up their scholastic requirements and standards.

Herbert Ranson is duly overbearing as lean and hungry Cassias, and Morgan Farley in faultless as Casea, the mean, little conspirator, most envious of the man he helps to destroy. Vincent Donebus plays the part of Cinna the Poet, and amply justifies the expansion of his part.

...mathematical chances against the occurrence are extremely high because of the great distances o space. If a body the size of ''Object Reinmuth" struck this globe it would not only annihilate everything at the site of impact but cause a tremendous earthquake and fires which would destroy life and property hundreds of miles away.

When a newshawk asked Dr. Harry Edwin Wood of Johannesburg last week what would have happened if "Object Reinmuth" had landed on Earth, he answered with...
Attempts at isolation necessarily involve curtailment of our foreign trade activities, if not complete cessation of them. What will the American cotton farmer say when his markets are destroyed, when he sees prices skyrocketed outside the country while they crumble within? What will laborers say when wages fall and prices rise? Who elect our Congressmen, anyway? The more efficient our control of foreign commerce becomes, the greater the internal pressures which rise up behind those barriers to destroy them. The dream of isolation, upon which rests the arguments of keeping hands off, is sheer moonshine...
