Über
"When money gives out, sense ensues." This pithy saying is from Yugoslav Proverbs, one of the twenty reader-chosen selections in volume 103. This collection ranges from the IRS budget, to the Fire Alarm Telegraph, to Curing Herring. Current events are discussed in Baltimore Bridge Collapse; ATT Network Outage of 2024; and Cuba: U.S. Policy Overview. Supreme Court judgments figure in Tomatoes, Fruit or Vegetable? Talent and training receive attention in Civil Service Tests of Policemen and Firemen; Measurement of Musical Talent; Unknowns in Mathematics; and Common Sense in Chess. Social action receives due in Lincoln's Lost Speech; Federation of the World; Guide to Epping Forest; and the Meaning of Masonry. A tribute to London leads to the arts: Ibsen's play Ghosts; Outdoor Sketching; and Life of the Painter John Opie. Summary by Sue Anderson
