...ashamed. The Copley is just across the street from the Back Bay Station. When does a friend of the "New Yorker" get, off at South Station anyhow? All that indefinable air of well-being, good cigars and whiskey, that subtle compound of Brooks Bros., Yardley and Sulka disappear in a puff of smoke. The ruddy executive becomes a pathetic, puzzled little fellow in a battered fedora, clutching a suitcase in his arms and sweating profusely. He's probably run down at the heel, too. Hell, Harold, you might as well give him a dime and put him on the subway...
...confused interlude between war and reconstruction- when the Germans have been driven out and the Allies have come in, when the fascists are out of office but the civilian governments have not yet been set up, and when the high aims for which the war was fought disappear before the realities of incompetence, brutality, red tape, swollen eyes, dead bodies, ruined buildings, ruined lives, cynicism, contempt, and the starved inertia of purposeless living...

...Orleans Charity Hospital had found that wounds stitched together with "ordinary cotton thread" were less likely to become infected than those sutured with catgut or silk. Another advantage: cotton is not absorbed and will hold when a wound takes a long time to heal-catgut may disappear in a little over a week, especially if a wound is infected. Finally, Dr. Ochsner noted that at Charity Hospital the average cost of catgut per patient is $1.19, as against 93? for silk and only 1¼? for cotton...
