...Doctor, so vast changes have taken place in the methods of medical diagnosis and treatment. No longer can the family physician carry in his little black bag all the equipment needed to restore his sick neighbor to health. He must, in many cases, rely for assistance on trained specialists, familiar with the latest advances in technical research. As a corollary to this increased specialization in medical science, the trend towards group practice, first introduced some twenty-five years ago by the Mayo brothers, tends to be increasingly pronounced...
Scarcely half an hour went by before the big doors to the balcony over the Palazzo's main entrance were opened. Out stepped the familiar figure of Benito Mussolini, their leader, followed by Achille Starace, the Fascist Party Secretary. The shouts burst into a deafening roar. Up went the raised arm of II Duce in acknowledgment. Up spoke Signor Starace through loud speakers commanding all to salute Italy's empire builder...
...appointment as Inspector of the Gestapo. Troops will march down Berlin's Unter den Linden and through the crowded Tiergarten as the 50-year-old Führer receives the frenzied homage of an adoring nation.

No mere corporate troublemaker, he spent $4,450 out of his own pocket convincing other dissatisfied shareholders that they were entitled to minority representation "just like the Supreme Court." This proposition Messrs...
...Sonata (1936) and the Violin and Piano Sonata in E (1935), are know hereabouts. The Violin and Piano Sonata (1939) has just been completed, and the Sonata for Piano Four Hands (1938) has not been heard here. The first Piano Sonata, inspired by Hoelderlin's poem, Der Main, is familiar to Cambridge audiences. Its direct, simple beauty has earned several performances here. The Violin and Piano Sonata in E has not been heard so frequently, and those who are acquainted with the earlier works in this form will be surprised at the light lyricism and simplicity of this short, melodious...
