With both superpowers patrolling the Mediterranean in force, the grim game of surveillance is played in dead earnest. Both sides are particularly vigilant for submarines, which are difficult to detect in the shallow waters where thermal layers and the screws of some 2,000 merchantmen on any day distort sound. The watch is most intense at six main "choke points," or "ticket gates," as Admiral Kidd calls them, through which maneuvering submarines must pass. These are Gibraltar, the sea south of Sardinia and Sicily, and the areas between Crete and Greece, Crete and North Africa, and Crete and Turkey. Both...
...that the Class of '46 felt the least bit sorry about the sacrifices it had made. In fact, when the CRIMSON resumed publication in the spring of '44, one could almost detect the first intonations of a new reverse-snobbishness: "The handful of pre-war students had too many memories of peacetime luxury," a '46 editor wrote of the class that had preceded him.

By week's end two more corpses had been found near the banks of the Feather River; the total stood at 25. The only suspect in the case, Juan Corona, 37, a taciturn farm-labor contractor, was arraigned in Sutler County Courthouse and charged with ten counts of murder (he will be charged with more when the remaining bodies are identified). He remained calm...
Physicians who examined the ten patients were unable to detect any clinical differences between the two groups. Nor were the addicts themselves able to distinguish between the drugs. All ten were equally able to resist the opiates to which they were addicted. For the present, 1-methadyl acetate is being produced only for investigational purposes and is not available for addiction-treatment programs. The Jaffe-Senay results are encouraging enough, however, to stimulate testing on a large scale...
