...minds dulled by years of propaganda and on to nerves chewed raw by this winter's bombings, Mussolini rubbed wholly fabricated atrocity stores: U.S. airmen, "bloodthirsty flying gangsters," have been bombing only churches, hospitals and nurseries; fiendish pilots have been dropping lipsticks, ladies' purses, flashlights, pens, pencils, cough drops and candy which explode in innocent and eager Italian hands. There have been broadcasts, press stories and faked newspictures of those supposedly maimed or killed...
Striking is old stuff to the tough, hardened, cough-ridden miners of "dark and bloody" southern Illinois. But this time, when the deadline came on Friday night, it was different. In the bars of West Frankfort, among the men from Orient No. 2 (world's largest producer of soft coal) and Old Ben, there was an undercurrent of uneasiness; many had the shadow of a feeling of shame. The men were solidly behind Old John L., they would do what he said, all right. But their hearts were troubled; it took only a few beers to reveal a slightly...
...most patients (about 4,000,000 incapacitated by heart disease in the U.S.) are the non-patients who should be under treatment. There are uncounted millions of them.

Japs quietly got much of it from seaweed beds along the U.S. Pacific coast, taking care that no one else knew the location. The University of California has now discovered four species of California seaweed rich in agar, ending the frantic search...
...Cairo, Harry Zinder, knows practically every newsmaker in the Middle East, from the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (who claims descent from Mohammed but has blue eyes and a blond beard) to stern, Bible-quoting General Montgomery of the British Eighth Army (who can't stand having his soldiers cough when he speaks and has a picture of Rommel pinned over his bed). Jack Belden, TIME'S roving correspondent in the East, probably knows General "Uncle Joe" Stilwell better than any other correspondent alive (he was with him on that long, nerve-racking, bug-bitten trek out of Burma...
