...enlightenment. Taking a leaf from, Goebbel's book, the men in Washington have climinated the bombast and the lies and have added accuracy, perception and historical depth. And, the resulting dose, of history is simple enough for the average attendant, Lone Ranger and Mickey Mouse not-withstanding, to savor, devour and digest...
...Vitamins may play an accessory role in the treatment of cancer. Patients with cancer of the stomach are unable to distribute vitamin A through the blood stream the way normal persons do. The cancer cells seem to devour the vitamin. Patients with leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells, have a much higher amount of vitamin B1 in these cells than do normal persons.

I demand the immediate suppression of the R----e Table on the grounds of indecency. R. Llewelyn Brill...
...sympathy has a double-edged pathos now that the Muscovite winners stand to lose so much. As a political novel, The Don Flows Home to the Sea has almost ceased to have meaning. Though they are scarcely 20 years gone, its violent events, against the vast implacabilities which devour that same earth now, have the minute, archaic beauty of actions seen through a reversed telescope: Cossack fighting was an affair of horses, hard riding and sabers. But as a plain story of a man, a family, and a people during war, this novel has the high, nerved vividness that such...
