...view, that a recession would do more economic good than harm, was shared by Federal Reserve Board Chairman Marriner S. Eccles. He thought "deflation now inevitable." The sooner it came, "the less painful" it would be. But it was Chase National Bank Chairman Winthrop Aldrich who administered the largest dose of soothing syrup. In Switzerland he told the International Chamber of Commerce, which he had headed for two years: "Europe does not need to fear that an American postwar corrective recession will degenerate into a depression. . . . [Recessions] are necessary to reduce costs and prices to a level which permits...
...Myerson decided to try a simple prescription: he gave the patient a mild dose of a soothing drug (sodium amytal) to lower his inhibitions and make him talk, combined with a stimulant (Benzedrine) to keep him awake. Then he closeted the patient in a room with the patient's wife. When the doctor looked in again, some 45 minutes later, the patient was chattering like a machine gun.

It was a new fashion of the Conservatives, who suddenly seemed to be under the influence of a big dose of triple-strength Benzedrine. They got a lift from a Gallup poll. It showed a Tory gain and a Labor loss in public popularity in the last year; they were now neck & neck, and if an election were held this week it might be either's neck. Moreover, the street meetings...
...sandfly acquires its parasite, where it lays its eggs, why it seems to have thrived only in one narrow area. Doctors have found no effective treatment for verruga. Natives burn animal dung and pungent eucalyptus leaves in their huts to keep out the sandfly. They also dose themselves with red wine and water in which corn silk has been boiled. Neither measure does much good. The natives appear to survive mainly because those who live through a mild form of verruga in childhood develop immunity...
