...Relaxed Approach. Contradicting most other teachers, who favor fencing flatfooted, Nadi makes his pupils raise the left heel in readiness to spring, insists that they practice before a mirror to correct "a jutting posterior." He tolerates no idle questions from pupils during lessons, describes with admiration how a stern old master taught the late great French fencer Kirchhoffer to relax. The master used to put Kirchhoffer on guard, then go away. After several minutes he would return, feel Kirchhoffer's arm, exclaim : "Your arm is tense. You will never be a fencer...

Whoever during these last twenty years has had a share in the thankless task of fighting Mussolini while American bankers, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, university presidents, college professors, journalists and lecturers were praising him to the skies, did not stand against Italy but revindicated the rights and the honor of the Italian people against Mussolini and his brainless admirers...

Special equipment includes X-ray calipers to check correct positioning of the marks, and duplicate surgical calipers which, when properly set, point directly to the foreign body. Both kinds of calipers are placed with one arm above and the other below the injury; when the operation is done, the surgical calipers duplicate the position of the X-ray calipers...
...Winter's Net. For the first time, Moscow newspapers last week printed maps showing the "official" battle line in Russia. The net geographic results of Russia's winter campaign, if that line is correct, are shown above. The net strategic effect has been to leave the Germans on something very like the line from which they started a year ago, except that they now hold all Crimea and the Novorossiisk bridgehead. The map also pointed up the smallness of Russian gains in the north. The Rzhev salient was reduced and the Leningrad siege lifted, but nothing like...
