...exports, to sell its No. 1 customer, the United Kingdom, as much war material as her $3,499,000,000 gold reserve will buy (her 1938 purchases in the U. S.: $521,124,000). It expected to have another customer in France, with a $2,776,000,000 gold chest (1938 purchases in the U. S.: $133,835,000). If atop all this, the U. S. also goes to war, the U. S. economy would face a first-class war boom...
...gazing at a chromo of Christ pointing to his exposed, bleeding heart. Last fortnight, in a small hospital in the Tondo slum district, Mrs. Rafael gave birth to a seven-pound baby girl, named Maria Corazon (Mary Heart). The baby's heart, faintly beating, lay on her chest, outside her body.

Dr. Jesus Celius of the University of Santo Tomas refused to consider an operation to place her heart inside her chest. Reason: its aorta (main artery) would have to be shut off during the operation. Last week, after living seven days, little Maria Corazon died of pneumonia...
...transfer him from one iron lung to another. The transfer took three precarious minutes, left Fred gasping and half-strangled. Gradually Fred Snite improved. Most of the time he stays in the big tank, but for five or six hours a day he can get along with a light, chest-sized inhalator which he wears sitting propped up in bed. From month to month the period during which he can breathe by himself has been extended (record to date: one hour and three minutes) but during these periods, as a precaution, he wears the small inhalator with the motor shut...
