...International Heraldic Institute's letter to Gordon Ickes states that the name Ickes is found in ancient records under various forms-Icke, Ike, Icken, Iken, Ihk, Ihken, Itzken, Itken, Ickel, Ickels, Ickes-and that these are all to be found in Heintze-Cascorbi's Die Deutschen Familiennamen, Berlin, 1933. The upper half of the shield is silver with a gold crescent on the breast of the black "demi eagle." The lower half of the shield is red, the trefoils silver. The eagle sticking out its tongue denotes divine power, the crescent shows participation in crusades...
Once Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes found a patient reading up on his disease. "Look out!" warned the doctor, "or you'll die of a misprint some day." Last week, to replace old-fashioned medical "encyclopedias," a group of eminent physicians, headed by Stomach Specialist Walter Clement Alvarez of the Mayo Clinic, published a series of little books (Help Your Doctor to Help You; Harper; 95?) on five diseases (twelve more are coming).

But it is a Serbian feeling that men die in fighting, but nations die only in yielding...
Today Detroit is working hard against the day when a tight labor market and priorities will cut its output. Substitute materials are already under study. Next year zinc die castings (for radiator grilles, spotlight rims, carburetors, etc.) will give way to substitutes, plastics will come in for still greater use. Most model changes will be superficial. As if to beat the gun, Packard (whose production has lagged 34% below 1940) already has added a new model to its line, so streamlined that the long-famous Packard lines are almost unrecognizable...
