Some 15 years ago one Harvey W. Church, Chicago murderer, threw himself into a similar state. After three months of fretting, Illinois justice hanged the sulker. In California, however, a convict must be sentenced within five days of the jury's verdict and must be fully aware of the sentence. So Judge Frank M. Smith went to the jail's hospital to see if he could pass sentence there. The woman lay on her back, arms folded over her chest, breathing slowly, her lips twitching. Apparently Helen Love was not only unaware of Judge Smith...
Worthy as was U. S. Rubber Co.'s progress in 1936, Goodyear's was even better. Profits last year were $10,831,000, compared with $5,452,000 in 1935.

It was he who discovered the lungs' atria. He proved that the significant unit of lung architecture is the lobule. He systematized the whole lung anatomy, rationalized its physiology. He anatomized the tubercle of Ghon, the spot in the lung from which certain cases of pulmonary tuberculosis develop in children. He guided a former assistant, Professor Olof Larsell of the University of Oregon, in mapping...
...William Snow Miller looks like General Custer. William Harvey looked like Shakespeare. Otherwise the two anatomists resemble one another astonishingly. A friend of Harvey described him as short, bright-eyed, quick, alert, choleric, often fingering the handle of his dagger. A friend of Dr. Miller describes him as "a chipper, cheerful, deaf little man, almost military in preciseness and persistence; as high-tempered as he is patient and potent; just, exacting, and opinionated...
