...Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723), unlearned Dutch merchant's clerk, was first man to recognize bacteria and protozoa with a microscope. But not until Louis Pasteur did anyone explain the meaning of Leeuwenhoek's "little animals." Last year Clifford Dobell, English protistologist (student of unicellular organisms), nephew of the man who invented Dobell's Solution, after learning 17th Century Dutch to interpret bad contemporary Latin translations of Leeuwenhoek's unscientific Dutch, published a Leeuwenhoek biography (Harcourt, Brace, $7.50).

Best explanation so far is that of Japanese Delegate to the League of Nations Yosuke Matsuoka, who represents Japan in Geneva this week and recently declared: "Japan can offer spirituality to America and to the entire Western world. . . . Japanism is a world communism of moral responsibility, ideals, obligations and honor, unlimited by time, unbounded by distance or area and irrespective...
...skin of his teeth, to avoid dropping several tons of cement on his underlings. Men and Jobs is not. essentially, entertainment, but it is a striking and intelligent advertisement for the Five-Year Plan. Good shot: the Russian foreman making a speech in which he tries to explain how, after all, he and his workmen have succeeded in beating their competitor-because of their "enthusiasm...
