Some U. S. surgeons can graft windows into damaged eyes just as effectively as Professor V. P. Filatov of Odessa, who last week told the U. S. Press that he does. Thus Columbia Medical Center's Dr. Ramon Castroviejo has successfully grafted the cornea of a stillborn infant upon the opaque eye of a grown man (TIME, April 15, 1935). But, by publishing in plain language an exposition of his surgery, Dr. Filatov, famed scientist of the U. S. S. R., violated the mores of U. S. ophthalmologists. On the other hand ordinary U. S. doctors learned...
Leukoma is opacity of the eye's cornea, that transparent coating which shields the iris and the pupil and is supported by the aqueous humor. Immediately behind the iris lies the crystalline lens, which focuses light images upon the retina. Leukoma may occur when the cornea is struck by a blow, is spattered with hot fluids or metals, or is diseased by smallpox, tuberculosis, trachoma, gonorrhea, syphilis. Provided that a person with an opaque cornea 1) can distinguish between light and dark and 2) has completely recovered from any contagious disease, Dr. Filatov last week declared that he could...

In these happy days of celebration the voice that was the voice of Rome sounds a proper and pleasing note, and in presenting Mostellaria sincerely and accurately the present pays fitting tribute to the past which has given it so much...
Frankly it looks as if many months would be required to combat the forces behind the bill. These forces are numerous, powerful and utterly unscrupulous. First comes Representative Dorgan, father of many eye-catching, hollow and communist-baiting bits of worthless legislation. Mr. Dorgan's forte lies in bills to purify the theatre (especially Shakespeare), keep our American youth unsullied from the myriad wiles and snares of Moscow, and prevent the Red universities of Massachusetts from completely seducing the young...
...future lovers did not meet again until Nelson had lost an eye and an arm and won world-wide fame by demolishing the French fleet in Aboukir Bay. Then the Hero of the Nile led his fleet into the Bay of Naples, and there he stayed, in spite of the welcome (and the patient wife) awaiting him at home, in spite of hints and finally orders from his superior officers. When a French-abetted revolution broke out in Naples, Nelson transported the court and the Hamiltons to Sicily. When the revolution faded out he brought them back again, helped...
