...various Blood-Busterfields and other dugout officers fulminating in service clubs against the new order last week could not have the satisfaction of belittling their new Chief of Staff as an upstart. Lord Gort is a sixth Viscount, an old Harrovian, a member of the most exclusive club in the world, the Royal Yacht Squadron, and grandson of famed Robert Smith Surtees, author of the fox hunters' bible Handley Cross.

...time virtual Siamese twins. Dr. Moran will cut the upper end of the tube of skin free from John's armpit and sew the end into the flesh of Clara's scarred abdomen. For five weeks the children will lie bandaged immovably together while John's blood nourishes the tube of flesh from one end until gradually-if the operation is successful-Clara's blood joins in nourishing it from the other. This it will presumably do without difficulty because John and Clara have the same blood grouping...
