Their testes, too, behave as he expected they would, moving backward during the breeding season toward the tail membrane. Dr. Cowles postulates that the venous blood, returning from the air-cooled membranes, keeps their temperature down. Next step will be to prove it with accurate observations. Fellow zoologists cheer him on, but predict that he will have trouble when he tries to take the temperature of a bat's testes while it is flying...
...torture of recent times on the Nazis and Japs. Can it be that there are those in our own United States who have still not had their fill of suffering, torture and slow death these past few years? ... If there are those who can stand and "laugh" and "cheer" at this unbelievably disgusting exhibit of perversion in one of our states, then we had better take up the cudgels where we left off in Europe...
...official debut could be put off no longer, and in 1943 the wartime Princess was officially introduced to her people in the vivid, yellow glare of the blast furnaces in a Welsh tin-plate mill.

The hog crop was so depleted then that pork would remain relatively scarce until May. There was a good prospect of $1-a-Ib. pork chops-if anyone would buy them. But there was no reason why anyone should; there was plenty of other lower-priced food to eat. The Department of Agriculture was actually worried because there was so much food in cold storage. Example: there were 140 million Ibs. of turkeys in cold storage...
