...different sort of "vacuum" approach is taken by the Department in the field of applied economics. Here one course is taught in apparent ignorance, or at least disregard, of the other. Some overlapping is inevitable where subject matters are related; but greater care in administrative coordination could well reduce the abundant duplication of material in Ec 41, 43, and 45, without destroying the unity of each. Even more noxious is the overlapping of lectures within one and the same course, which is quite current in 41, and not unknown in 45 and 61. Closer collaboration between the different lecturers...
...made one of their rare joint pictures, a mural on which right-handed Freda worked leftward, southpaw Ida in the opposite direction until they met in the centre. The whole thing looked like one artist's work. When the Leibovitz twins, tramping through Philadelphia streets, painted the same subject, their conceptions were almost identical. In the contests in which...
About their first twin exhibition at Carlen's Freda was "thrilled," Ida was "thrilled." They had typical duplicate canvases of the same subject, a Negro named George. The difference between them was mainly that Freda painted only the head, called it Negro Head, while Ida painted a half-figure, called it George.

...publisher's natural for Christmas or any other season, this collection includes all the more favorable things that some 125 writers of prose and verse have had to say about mothers. It is jacketed, as inevitably as baldness, with Whistler's sour old dam. Considering its subject and its editor, The Mothers' Anthology will doubtless become a household classic. Most of its readers will probably be mothers, and they will have every reason to enjoy themselves. For non-mothers, the book has interest too. Representing some of the world's greatest writers and some...
Most curious single fact is how inadequate they are to their subject. The Book of Ruth, to be sure, contributes one of the most magnificent passages in the English language;* but it is about a mother-in-law. William Shakespeare himself gets uncommonly fancy and feeble; the one grand piece of eloquence Dr. Phelps allows him to deliver is from Hamlet, is spoken in disgust, and is, at that, the mildest dose of vitriol the good doctor could lift out of Hamlet's tongue-lashing. And Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a sometime master of verbal magic, begins a mother-sonnet...
