...Inaugurating the 1938 Mobilization for Human Needs (national community chest drives), Franklin Roosevelt said: "You may well ask if the need for community action is as great as before, now that your Government has provided a national program of social security. I would answer that the need is just as great as before...
Last week Tuffy escaped; how, no one seems to know. As Thomas Saito, a 37-year-old Japanese auctioneer, was stepping into his car, Tuffy came bounding up the boardwalk, pounced, knocked Saito down, clawed his chest, dragged the inert body 150 feet to a recess under the boardwalk, where he mangled it horribly. Police searched gingerly among the pilings under the walk while members of the volunteer fire department warned people to stay indoors. When police finally sighted Tuffy, they blazed away, slightly wounded him. He disappeared again. Two hours later Patrolman John Gares sighted the lion...
...dropped to the ground one of the workers playfully raised in his direction a thin steel rod, five feet long, three-eighths of an inch in diameter. The rod pierced the lower part of his back, slid up through his body, stopped at the left side of the chest wall. The boy was transfixed like a chicken on a spit, suffered neither shock nor collapse.

Mr. Curley at once offered his services to Governor Hurley to supervise hurricane relief work. Mr. Hurley let him wait...
...Nicoll confidently grasped his knife, made an incision along the side to the breastbone, along the breastbone for eight inches, then straight through the third, fourth, fifth and sixth ribs. Pushing back the ribs he saw the chest cavity flooded with blood, drained it out with a suction machine like a little hand vacuum cleaner. Then he picked up Manning's heart and held it faintly fluttering in his hand. The pericardium (membrane enveloping the heart) was bruised and a large pool of blood was trapped in the heart, impeding its motion. Dr. Nicoll slit through the pericardium...
