...publicity the report has received. After the New York Times picked it up, at least one professional journal reprinted it and suggested that readers write away for copies. It's the first time in memory that a faculty debate at the Med School has not been a strictly private affair...
...late as the 1920s and 1930s, American cooking was still a homely affair, and a reform was long overdue. The great shift in U.S. home cooking did not take place until the end of World War II rationing.

Olympian Ultimatums. In Victorian times, the game of Fathers & Sons was a ruthless affair. Lord Randolph, Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1886, was type and exemplar of a caste-the British aristocracy, whose members had pride, privilege, titles to mark them off from lesser men, retinues of servants and the habit of ruling a vast household and an empire. They exacted a fearful price of admission from their heirs; the initiation rites were as painful as and more prolonged than those for an Apache brave. Before the little lordlings could dish it out, they had to learn to take...
