...were not merely scantily nourished but acutely undernourished. The Poles were getting only 800 calories a day, the Belgians 960, Norwegians 1,500, Hollanders 1,900, the Germans from 2,250 to 2,600, the British 2.800. These figures, based on the average daily rations permitted, overlooked the larder-bare fact that actually very few people in any of the countries are lucky enough to find or be able to buy the amount of food they are entitled...
...Moreno's method for treating mental ills-a sort of theatrical psychoanalysis which he uses for troubled mortals, as well as for Hitlers and Hamlets. Instead of lying on a couch and confiding their woes to a psychoanalyst, patients act out their problems, impromptu, on a bare little stage. Many a patient who is hostile or shy refuses at first to take part, suddenly blurts out his hidden neurosis...
Last December, as these three entered the gates of the air station, the machine tool was still abuilding. On the right were dozens of pearl-grey barracks with colonial facades, long mess halls and groundschool buildings; on the left, mammoth hangars skirting the vast bare landing field.

...himself from all control of it. His idea was that the money should be spent as quickly as possible, consistent with wise giving to progressive causes that other agencies wouldn't touch. In those days, when the Bolsheviks were just getting established, money from Russia came as a bare trickle to U.S. radicals. The Daily Worker then got only $35,000 a year from the Communist International; the Garland Fund gave it some $50,000 more between 1924 and 1928. The Fund put up $17,000 to launch the weekly New Masses, put up another $16,400 to keep...
...From a bare, rocky hillside near Denver one night last week came such sounds as the great U.S. outdoors had seldom heard. They emanated from Soprano Helen Jepson, a 100-piece orchestra and a 100-voice chorus. Denver's Theater of the Red Rocks has acoustics so good that the 20,000 people who can sit on its slopes can hear perfectly without amplifiers...
