But it may equally well be said that only as some men and some institutions, such as the university and the church, preserve that dispassionateness can we be saved from the fallacious hopes and needless fears. In religion, at least, only a study of its history can give us the long range view of spiritual and moral processes, which are our best safeguard against disillusionment and despair.

Hitler's travels of the last fortnight suggested that he might be planning to consolidate...
...music he sponsors are doing irreparable injury to the cause of reputable, heartfelt jazz." This is all based on the fact that Charlie Barnet "has had the colossal bad taste to ape the one inimitable band around today and the result is something cheap and disgusting."
