...women, some Italians cannot become fathers. According to Research Director Allan Winter Rowe of Boston's Evans Memorial Hospital, the trouble with these peculiar Italians is that their thyroid glands neglect to secrete a newly-discovered hormone.

D'Annunzio might permit so distinguished a guest to enter his sacred Adriatic Room, lined with stalls from an abandoned church.
