...chair for three days with a set of broken ribs before she was treated. Another woman was struck down by an attendant and is now in Bellevue Hospital. A woman who had a small finger infection was studiously disregarded until the infection had spread throughout her entire arm.

The story runs on in this manner to tell of sick being left to die, of aged beaten into submission, of inedible food, of medication by inexperienced and brutal...
Yesterday, in Baltimore, physicians of Mr. Sinai hospital announced the discovery of a new anesthetic, in the form of a power which is diluted in sterile water and injected into the arm of the patient.

Still later he was thrown by a horse and dragged through a barbed-wire fence. Then he fell from a speeding bobsled, fracturing his skull. At 80, he recovered from double pneumonia. At 81, he was downed by a paralytic stroke...
...Presidential election, on the principle that a first-rate dead man is better than a second-rate live one. Of President Roosevelt he says: "[He] is no Cincinnatus; his manifest scheming for the job gives his measure." NRAdministrator Johnson he calls "that vulgar ruffian Johnson, Roosevelt's strong-arm man." He finds it "hard to imagine a more despicable institution than our press. ... All that makes me suspect there may be something in Technocracy is that the New York Times and Herald Tribune ridicule it. If they ignored it altogether, I would be practically sure it was a pretty...
