As to the character of the population, he went back to 1598 and quoted a diplomatic report of one Sir George Carew: "The outstanding features of Polish character were cruelty and lack of moral restraint." When modern Poland, "although not menaced at all," received the Allies' guarantees, the "shameless insults" which she heaped on the Third Reich at last became unbearable. Hence Sept...
...after the sun had set on the first game of the Series last week, Cincinnati rooters realized that they had been far too optimistic. This Yankee team was a sure-enough nonpareil. Although big Paul Derringer had pitched a magnificent game, the Yankees, with a magician at every position, had nosed out the Reds, 2-to-1. From then on, it was a rout.

Of 500 pneumonia patients treated at Pittsburgh's Mercy Hospital, said Chief Physician William Watt Graham...
...Many unusual forms of epilepsy are often passed by unnoticed, believes Dr. Richard Max Brickner. Remarkable is the case of "D," a 77-year-old college professor, who, when he opened his eyes in the morning, was often assailed by a violent hurricane of fantastic, guilty and obscene thoughts. Although he would try with all his might, D would be unable to get a sane thought in edgewise." Sometimes within half an hour, often within a day, his brainstorms would abate, leaving him depressed but self controlled. Strangely enough, he had no convulsive movements, would lie passively in bed while...
