...this President Conant foresaw, last week, when he wrote the letter. He knew that the fight would be one with no quarter asked or given. He knew that those who felt as he did would be at a disadvantage. And so he has made an attempt to introduce into the fight a few rules of fair play. He has appealed to the opposition not to present the issue as one of immediate war or peace. He has done the same thing President Roosevelt did at the outset of his message to Congress when he attributed high motives to his opponents...
...Cuban leper, his arm scarred and painfully ulcerated, was bitten by a poisonous tropical spider. Strangely enough, he felt no ill effects, and the searing pain in his arm diminished for several days. His doctor passed the remarkable news on to his colleagues and soon the Pasteur Institute in Paris began work on the use of animal poisons for relief of uncontrollable pain. That was ten years ago. Most practical poison to use, the French scientists discovered, is cobra venom, which is easy to extract, measure and inject. Fortnight ago, in The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Robert Northwall...
...Rutherford tried cobra venom injections on 17 women, most of them victims of incurable cancer. Of the 17, eight felt completely relieved (several even gained weight, went back to work), seven told him their pain was greatly diminished. Only two had poor results. Other physicians, said Dr. Rutherford, are trying venom injections for relief of pain caused by chronic arthritis, heart disease, gangrene. Advantages over morphine: 1) venom lasts longer (morphine may wear off in three hours) ; 2) it is not habit-forming...
Last week he popped up again with a novel, Mars in the House of Death, and an account of where he has been all this time. He quit Hollywood because: 1) doctors told him the pace would kill him shortly, 2) he felt he was getting in a rut. Well-heeled (he got about $125,000 a picture, plus 25% of profits), he bought Ciné studios in Nice, decided to travel. Until two years ago, when he settled in Mexico, he had lived in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Syria, Spain, Egypt, learned Arabic, got 20 pieces of his own sculpture...
...course, America would look sorrowfully on any sort of German victory, and she should do what is in her power--short of war--to ensure an opposite result. Any Nazi success means an upsurge of this political and social creed, which would certainly be felt in the United States. But Mr. Greene has little faith in the virility of democracy and in American integrity if he considers this an overwhelming threat. And surely he will not proceed to the ridiculous argument of actual Nazi aggression on American soil...
