...awkward, "a deathicss name"; but afterwards expands, paralleling with the figure of the millionaire and the transplanted elm. After scrutinizing cogitation the transplanted elm appears blatantly impossible, either in its own context or in relation to the young novelist and his contemporary applause. Sentence (3) commences firmly to distinguish between "compact" and "fulfilled," but instead of focusing his point the frivolous poet appends an incomprehensible commentating clause. Sentence (4) is a compression of the defects of the "Letters" at large. Sordid subjects, prevalent among social novelists are ridiculed; a digression is made on obscurity; this obscurity is commented...
...Jean Broadhurst, 64, tall, stately, silver-haired professor of bacteriology at Columbia University, announced in the Journal of Infectious Diseases that by-products of the measles virus, known as inclusion bodies, can be brought to sight by a blue-black stain called nigrosin which pathologists use to color and distinguish certain cells of the central nervous system from all other cells. No bacteriologist before Miss Broadhurst, who began her long career by teaching biology at New Jersey State Normal School, seems to have used nigrosin to stain, and therefore to see, these measles inclusion bodies...
...published her memoirs, the ranee could qualify as an author among such full-time professionals as Stuart Chase and Frederick Lewis Allen, such part-time writers as Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Astronomer Harlow Shapley, all of whom attended the Fair.

Fanatic Moslems believe that their fast is broken if they swallow even their spittle, or let a trickle of water into their throats when cleaning their teeth. Especially holy are the last ten days of Ramadan, during which falls the "Night of Glory" (or "Power...
Muzak music comes from specially made master transcriptions with an audiocycle range far greater than most radios and minus the surface scratching of most phonographs. This makes the reproduction so faithful that hearers can barely distinguish it from an actual performance of an orchestra. Another advantage is complete lack of announcements, commercial or otherwise, to impede its comfortably spaced flow of tunes. Service is 24 hours a day and all subscribers receive a printed program. Network service costing $25 a month is now taken by such Manhattan spots as the Waldorf-Astoria and Childs restaurants and comes in two types...
