...Italian Risorgimento, Congo dialects, cooking and the privately printed pornographies of Mark Twain. Some of its treasures haven't been consulted by any one for half a century. Some others come in handy: during World War II, members of Harvard's 600-man library staff could predict coming invasions by the books Washington asked...
Year of Crisis. U.S. military strategists know that the balance of military power is changing. They are sure they can predict almost to the year when it will have shifted to a critical degree, just as the President's civilian Advisory Commission on Universal Training forecast the situation three weeks...

Even the little thrill of pleasure that makes me quiver to think that I can predict a play is not enough to offset the tragic disappointment when the great Ted has to drop his bat and sidle to first.

This would be a blow to Hollywood. But Rankmen bumptiously predict that within five years they will be digging up $50,000,000 in Hollywood's acre, and cutting deeper into its take in Britain. This would certainly shake Hollywood, as well as make Rank's movies a big source of dollar exchange in Britain. It might encourage the Socialists...
