...arouse mass appreciation. When his Six Characters in Search of an Author was presented in Manhattan in 1922, the management served notice that the drama was "not for morons." But average playgoers did not find Six Characters altogether incomprehensible. A father, mother, stepdaughter and son appear on a bare stage where some actors are about to rehearse a play, insist on working out their destinies as they were conceived in the mind of a playwright who did not get around to setting them down on paper...

It is distributing hundreds of millions to farmers under...
...spilled an anesthetic on them. Dr. Thomas located a hopelessly blind woman whose useless corneas were crystal clear and who was willing to give them to Mrs. Muir. Dr. Thomas peeled the corneas from the eyes of both women, ingeniously tied the clear corneas on Mrs. Muir's bare eyeballs. After a fortnight she could see again...
