...cellulose-digesting bacteria are of the aciduric group, akin to the Lactobacillus acidophilus of Bulgarian buttermilk, which (some scientists think) helps un usual numbers of Balkan rustics to fill themselves full of years. Taken in liquid form, the bacterial cultures taste like chocolate syrup. They become permanently established among the intestinal flora in about a month. Cost: $2 per person...
...thing, it was getting harder for Adolf Hitler to manipulate his Balkan puppets. Steady sabotage, despite the Nazi firing squads, was one sign (see p. 31). Another was the brave defense of Yugoslavia's "Island of Freedom" (see p. 31). Still another was given last week when the Bulgarian Cabinet resigned after a majority was said to have rejected plans for Bulgaria which King Boris III brought home from Berlin last month.

Beyond Greece would be the blue waters of the Aegean Sea, the purple minarets of Turkey and the terraced olive groves of Syria to lure him on. But some tiresome Nazi underling no doubt would urge the Führer to inspect fleets of dull grey invasion barges, squadrons of bombers, fighters and troop carriers hidden away in the islands off Greece...
