...older, greyer doctors, Dr. Harvey's selection as successor to venerable Dr. Warfield Theobald Longcope, 68, was a surprise. It should not have been. Even though such prestige-heavy professorships usually go to more experienced men, Johns Hopkins acquired its early fame through the work of four comparative youngsters, the original "Big Four": William Henry Welch (who began at 43), William Stewart Halsted (41), Howard Atwood Kelly (35), and Sir William Osier* (44). Dr. Harvey is young enough to carry on the tradition. He is also able enough to carry on the good work...
That the resentful Congress party would consent even to meet the Viceroy was a hopeful sign. Its principal conference delegates (ex-President Nehru and current President Maulana Abul Kalam Azad) had only just emerged from three years in jail-Nehru greyer and grimmer, Azad 46 lbs. lighter.

...complicated. Secretaries toiled amid mountains of correspondence-25,000 letters alone had poured in by midweek. Eleanor Roosevelt spent hours answering personal notes, hours more telephoning friends and relatives who were to receive mementos from her husband's possessions. Those who saw her thought her hair looked greyer; her eyes were tired and she was pale, but she worked on without pause. Toward the end of the week, she invited newspaperwomen to pay her a last visit at the White House...
...whole day, the sole attention of a German sniper. In one day's fighting, he wrote, thousands of shells passed over his position, and one German dud bounced so close he could have fielded it like a hot grounder. He returned to the rear a little greyer, slept almost continuously for three days, then sat down to write a fistful of columns. Examples of his stuff...
