Well aware of such laymen's worries, Dr. Arthur M. Master of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital and Dr. Louis I. Dublin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. asked themselves: How high is high blood pressure? To get the answer, they had to find out what is normal blood pressure-an item that a generation of researchers had failed to agree on. Dr. Dublin, aided by Statistician Herbert H. Marks, culled the health records of World War II workers at air bases and war plants, tabulated the blood pressure of 15,706 seemingly normal, healthy men & women from...
...Bath, the hero is a prosperous barrister who winds up a night of revelry in a country inn a hundred miles from Dublin, and the next morning, half-dressed, badly in need of a pickup, lectures the peasantry in the bar on gentlemanly behavior. Another story tells how little Jimmy holds the sheep still while his mother shears them, watches her spin the wool into white thread, goes with her to leave the yarn at the weaver's house, and finally watches the tailor work the finished cloth up into a suit.

...those Scotch-Irish who want no Catholic rule move to the U.S., in exchange for a like number of the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick who want to extend Dublin's beneficent domain and presumably would be anxious themselves to enjoy the blessings which they urge upon the reluctant Orangemen.

Moscow's men had much less luck; they got so stony broke that Dublin's men lent them $20,000. For security, the Russians gave the Irish four pieces of jewelry (diamonds, rubies and sapphires), presumably from the Romanov crown collection...
Ireland never heard of this traffic with Beelzebub until 28 years had passed. Then, in the heat of an election, someone challenged Eamon De Valera: "Where are the Russian jewels?" Dev told how his old crony Harry Boland had hidden them at his home in Dublin. In 1922, as he lay dying from Free State bullets, anti-Free State Irish Republican Extremist Boland pledged his sister and mother never to give up the jewels until Ireland was free. Not until Britain left the Irish ports in 1938 did the Boland women turn over the treasure to Dev's government...
