Talk:Stuart Chase

Common sense is that which tells us the world is flat.
The above sentence may be not exactly what Stuart Chase said but perhaps, so to speak, a map of a map. To prevent such an unclear map from spreading, it was replaced by what Hayakawa actually mentioned. --KYPark 01:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Failed in finding the source from Hayakawa's book. I googled with the search term "the world is flat" and failed again from the top 100 searched items, most of which are related to the recent NYT bestseller w:The World is Flat by w:Thomas Friedman, who appears no less political than Chase and Hayakawa. His wife is an economist and a graduate of Stanford University. --KYPark 03:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
