Floyd Stahl gave Harvard the snappiest brand of baseball it has ever had and last year performed the difficult feat of working a group of Seniors into a well-oiled unit. This spring he had green hands to work with, and there were many headaches. Gene Lovett has never been a coach's ball player and has been a continual problem-child for Stahl...
Herr Hitler also still got some 390,000 tons of Dutch oil, 3.000 tons of tin, large stocks of vegetable oils, whale oil, condensed milk. He appointed his Austrian yes man, Arthur Seyss Inquart, to govern the new prize. He gloated over the new springboard he had for a feat never accomplished, even by Napoleon, since William the Conqueror performed it in 1066: the invasion of Great Britain...

Even after discounting Norse innocence, lack of equipment, treachery within, discounting also British amateurishness and unpreparedness, the German campaign...
...germicide. It used to be thought, how ever, that from 100,000 to 100,000,000 silver atoms were needed to kill a cell. Last week Physicist Alexander Goetz of Caltech described experiments showing that under favorable circumstances just one silver atom will kill a cell - a feat roughly comparable to the killing of a dinosaur by a gnat...
