...enormous losses of the enemy . . . will be given in a few days."* Estimating the material cost to Germany of shattering Poland in three weeks, the communique added: "Munitions and fuel consumption of this campaign amounted to only a fraction of [German] monthly production." With a stiff, heel-clicking bow from the waist to the Nazi Party, the Army High Command observed that in Poland spade-wielding young stalwarts of the Nazi Labor Service "made the task of leadership much easier. ... In the re-establishment of streets, bridges and railways ... the Labor Service particularly proved its worth...
...things have made Chancellor Bow man one of the most talked-about U. S. educators: his football team and his (still unfinished) 42-story Cathedral of Learning, which he has been building these 18 years. To picture this cathedral to the architect, he played the Magic Fire Music from Die Walküre on a phonograph. "There you have it," he said. "Climax rising above climax."

Dr. Pfeiffer had a hunch that the blood of cancer victims and the blood of healthy persons might perhaps form crystals as different as those of coffee and tea. After trying some 23 substances, he hit on copper chloride...
...lukewarm sterile water, mixed with copper chloride and spread on a glass microscope slide to crystallize. Healthy blood forms a green crystal pattern which, under a microscope, looks like a delicate, fan-shaped palm leaf. But in cancerous blood some unknown chemical forms a pattern of scattered, double-wing bow ties. In 1,000 trials on known cancer victims, said Drs. Pfeiffer and Miley, the copper test was 80% accurate...
