...Rangers who won the Stanley Cup last year. The Toronto Maple Leafs, by far the ablest team in the National League judged by their season's record, were put out fortnight ago in a semi-final against the Detroit Red Wings, owned by Broker James Norris of Lake Forest, Ill. Opponents of the Red Wings in last week's three-out-of-five series for the Cup were the Chicago Black Hawks, owned by Mr. Norris' neighbor, Major Frederic McLaughlin...

Children hung their snow sleds beside the door and squatted down to a Hokkaido (Japan's New England) supper of fish, beans and rice. In the Bay a forest of masts swayed wildly.

What Professor Schumpeter has done for the Economics Department has been to lead it forth from the forest of conceptual windmills and scarecrows in which it has been wandering fruitless- ly ever since the turn of the century Now, at least a substantial portion of the department has been made to understand the necessarily realistic implications of the Conservative View by a man who sees them not in the cheap syllogisms of an Economics A, but in the suffering and starvation of a once flourishing empire strangled culturally and economically by the forces of revolution...
