...cannot see anything deplorable about that. I cannot even get excited over the fact that Canadian editors go to New York literary agents to buy, while Canadian authors go to New York literary agents to sell. It is better for all concerned than if we tried to keep them all fenced off in their own back yard. Art should be international and should not be hedged in by political boundaries. Of course, if we wanted to develop a fanatical nationalism like that of Germany, we should have to put a stop to that sort of thing. As long as Canadian...
...mold "boots" (Navy lingo for recruits) into the indefinable likeness of a Marine takes hard work on a rigid regimen; close order drill, combat exercises, firing on the range that goes with every Marine camp, endless heckling by N. C. O.s until the recruits learn to keep their eyes front, their chins in, their chests out. (Because in early days Marines wore high leather stocks that kept their heads up, sailors nicknamed them "leathernecks.")

They will keep coming in, these voices of war, keep hammering at the will of a nation that does not want war, that is determined to prevent the spread of war. If it was hard for America to make up its mind about the election, it will be even harder to decide what...
...present, however, America's stand is clear. If the people handed President Roosevelt any mandate Tuesday, it was a mandate to keep this country at peace. Both candidates put more and more stress on their peace promises as the campaign neared its end. They wanted votes, and that was the way to get them. On this issue there was no lack of unity...
