Fictioner than fact says Moulton at Chicago lecture
Prof Richard G Moulton argued that action is truer than fact and more powerful in fiction, urging students to study literary works deeply rather than merely record events. He claimed fiction can convey universal truths beyond mere fact and cited novels and biographies to illustrate his paradoxes. He also advocated treating the Bible as literature and publishing a Bible library organized by literary groups.

Navy to replace worn commission plate with exact reproduction
The Navy will lay aside its century old engraved commission plate once used for naval officers. Secretary Long ordered a faithful copy to be made from the old master, preserving its period style while updating shading. The plate, created by the American Bank Note Co. around 1880, is treasured as a fine government engraving reflecting Civil War to Spanish American War service.
