...reader of The New Republic since 1914 and an admirer of the writings of Walter Lippmann wishes to express his appreciation of your column under The Press during the week of March 30. "A Testament'' is very timely. It causes one to recall the closing paragraph in the ninth volume of Henry Adams' History of the. United States. "The traits of American character were fixed; the rate of physical and economical growth was established; and history, certain that at a given distance of time the Union would contain so many millions of people, with wealth valued...
Your admirable account of Walter Lippmann's life and spiritual difficulties (TIME, March 30) was most timely with all this pallid talk of liberalism going around. But didn't you overlook one of his most unique achievements? Didn't Lippmann discover John Maynard Keynes (Economic Consequences of Peace) for America?

It should be realized, however, that Birth Control, whether moral or immoral...
...Vatican do you still believe in the infallibility of the Pope?' and Cardinal Gibbons smiled and said : 'Well, he called me Jibbons.' " The identical story had been told by Morgan Partner Thomas William Lamont at last fortnight's Academy of Political Science dinner for Walter Lippmann (TIME, March 30). At that dinner, Colyumist Broun sat near the speakers' table. Reminded of this, honest Colyumist Broun cried: "Oh, I must have got it from him! ... I couldn't remember." At White Plains, N. Y. James Edward ("Andy") Gump, 24, asked and was granted a court...
