"Editors of some of the most sensational newspapers say they make a newspaper to suit the public... it must startle with incident and surprise, found or invented." Charles Dudley Warner's lament, from Literature and the Stage, written in 1889, is testimony to the constancy of human preoccupations. War, religious persecution, foreign travel and exploration, dreams and nightmares, even chicken eggs and mice are among the 15 reader chosen topics in volume 107. The volume also contains a timely injunction to Do It Now and a formula to find the day of the week for any given date. Summary by Sue Anderson (3 hr 45 min)
