Years of Wrath. Göring's gargantuan lust for living may be glandular, or it may simply be overcompensation for years of privation, despair and wrath. Certain it is that much of his ruthlessness was acquired during World War I and while he was an obscure revolutionary, hating the "Jewish republic." More than Hitler or Goebbels or the late Ernst Röhm, who were abnormal anyway, Göring is a product of Germany's generation of defeat, of which Erich Maria Remarque has written...

For five or six days before operation he gave them diets rich in protein and vitamins, plenty of salt and water, and injections of desoxycorticosterone.

...Angel is actually Maurice Tillet, born of French parents in the Russian Urals 35 years ago.

To get a picture of the late Queen Marie of Rumania, Smitty grabbed the royal thigh and held the Queen in her automobile. To get a picture of Rachmaninoff he played Chopsticks on the master's piano until he gave up and posed. To Schumann-Heink he said...
...living in the South. Baby teeth, said the critical U. S. doctors, are no criterion of age. Lina's early menstruation, said U. S. pediatricians, was probably caused by an ovarian tumor. Ovarian tumors are not rare, sometimes cause menstruation in children a year old, often produce glandular changes which stunt growth. Concluded A.M.A. spokesman Dr. Morris Fishbein: "It is difficult or impossible to determine the exact age of children born in primitive tribes. . . . It is likely that she was much older...
