When ready for grafting, a small incision is made through the skin of the recipient, at the axilla or groin, and a pocket pushed open by blunt dissection in the areolar tissue near the large blood vessels. The various fragments of graft are picked up on a pipette containing salt solution, squirted into the pocket, and the small incision sutured. If the grafts take, they grow slowly in size and after a number of weeks or months restore the physiology of the recipient to normal...

What the Russians fear is that in case of a war with the Japanese the rest of the capitalist powers are going to gang up on Russia and engage in a good deal of international eye-gouging and groin-kicking at the expense of the USSR; if Germany and other European states launch an attack upon Russia at the same time that Japan does, it is obvious that the results are going to be pretty sad for the proletariat...

...Youngstown last week a playmate accidentally shot Harry Besharre, 13. in the chest, directly over the heart. When Harry reached the hospital he complained less of the pain in his chest than of a gripe in his left groin. X-rays showed a strange accident.
