...seemed to have made a full recovery after surgeons patched up his torn stomach and intestines. But by 1934, when he was working as the village well digger, Ohishi found that he felt flushed and giddy, and his head got heavy ("like a sake hangover") soon after he ate bread or potatoes. Friends twitted him for secret drinking. In China, during World War II Army medics rated him "perfectly fit." So officers continued to abuse him for drunkenness, while enlisted buddies searched in vain for his source of booze...
There, doctors humored the patient by trying the test diets he suggested. They had to admit that Ohishi was right: starches were bad for him, and bread was the worst. Dr. Tsuneo Takada, 30, took samples of Ohishi's digestive juices. In them microbiologists found a flourishing growth of a yeastlike fungus, Candida (or Monilia) albicans, occasional cause of human infections, but usually in the mouth or the vagina. In a normal gut, Candida may occur without causing fermentation. But in Ohishi's repaired bowel there was a little pocket where the Candida hid, multiplied, and busily fermented...
Last week in New York's Astor Hotel, 275 delegates to the Guild's 26th annual convention gathered to measure improvements in the reporter's lot since those unorganized and impoverished days.

The work went over so well that Colorado and Kansas wheat growers joined in, recently formed the regional Great Plains Wheat Market Development Association, set up another office in Rotterdam...
...trousers and a hooded sweatshirt with a large cross hanging from his neck, Pastor Delattre is a busy man-serving his bread and wine, bailing his flock out of jail, counseling pregnant girls, speaking to church groups, being pointed out to tourists (the mission is a regular stop for sightseeing buses). He never brings up the subject of religion. "If they ask, I reply. And, believe me, many people preach to me, and I've been transformed. Church people often ask me: 'Have things been successful? How many have become Christians? Is this worth the investment?' When...
