...that is the case, then the Justice Department has given in to the pressure of picket lines that exceeded a reasonable size and threatened to become coercive, and the kind of protests that were manufactured by Walter Winchell, who called for a demonstration against Gieseking in his Sunday night broadcast. Gieseking's hurried departure has deprived many music-lovers of the opportunity of hearing him play. Many others would undoubtedly choose not to go to his concerts, and in a free society, everyone should have the right to make such a choice. But the Justice Department, evidently under the whip...
...keep guinea pigs from getting ulcers. In California Medicine, he reported results of a five-month test on 13 patients. He gave them a quart of cabbage juice a day, squeezed out by a juice presser from fresh raw cabbage. They also got a fairly normal diet. They were given no regular doses of alkalis, and were allowed to smoke all they wanted.

But the Billikens were content just to win (58-47). Macauley had scored only 10 points, but he had set up most of the rest...
...month ago, on C.E.'s promise to be home without fail, Jessie ordered engraved invitations for their first big party in four years. A few days before it was to be given, C.E. called her from the office and told her she would have to give it alone. He had been asked to go to Germany for ECA and report back on what should be done with German plants. Mrs. Wilson called off the party, packed a suitcase with chipped beef and peanuts, and went with him. (She thriftily considered scratching out the date on the invitations for possible...
