...Uvalde, Texas, a spry, bowlegged little man with a stubborn back-hair cowlick celebrated his 71st birthday by packing a lunch (including a hunk of birthday cake baked by his wife), rode off after deer. Six days late was John Nance Garner in bagging his annual buck; but he was on time at the hunt campfire, where he dished up his special concoction-"Son-of-a-gun stew," which supposedly includes a dash of everything...
...communalist (in favor of local elections according to religious majorities). Once a stanch supporter of the Indian National Congress party (for independence), he later became soul & body of the All-India Moslem League (for Moslems), of which he is permanent president.

Within two hours after his arrival in Berlin he had telephoned more people than Joseph Barnes knew. Most of them were young Nazis who had once been his schoolmates...
...Anatomist Eleanor Linton Clark of the University of Pennsylvania accidentally ran a glass tube, fine as a hair, into her finger. A few days later, when her finger swelled, her husband & colleague, Anatomist Eliot Round Clark, probed out the sliver of glass. To their amazement, the Clarks saw tiny blood vessels sprouting inside the tube. Because they were scientists, that gave them an idea. They got three rabbits, slit the delicate skin of their ears over a dime-sized area, sandwiched the ears between oval glass windows, long as an egg. Then, because they were scientists, they proceeded to annoy...
