Headline of the Moment
Salvation Army fights to stay in Moscow...they're being accused of being a paramilitary! Hee hee hee. The 'Army claims it's because they're not making the requisite bribes.
Piecemeal Quote of the Moment
With the arrival of the "ultra-rapid computing machine", "the average human being of mediocre attainments or less" will have "nothing to sell that is worth anyone's money to buy."Couldn't find the whole quote, but I think it's from early-ish in the 1900s. It's an interesting flipside to the "computers will do all the work and we can all retire and it will be utopia" mentality.
