The State board or such other agency thereupon shall file in the court the record of the proceeding on which the State board or such other agency based its action, as provided in section 2112 of title 28, United States Code. "(2) The findings of fact by the State board or other appropriate administering agency, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be conclusive; but the court, for good cause shown, may remand the case to the State board or such other agency to take further evidence, and the State board or such other agency may thereupon make new or modified findings of fact and may modify its previous action, and shall certify to the court the record of the further proceedings.

The Screens of Life

We are but phantoms on the screen of life, The reel itself is very far away; And farther, in the cosmic Hollywood, The actors play.

The phantoms on the screen are moving fast, So fast that they can neither think nor see; But they are wondering whether like the past Or worse or better will the future be.

I know, at least, whatever be the gains Or losses as we speed away, That still for thee and me remains A thought of yesterday.
