...Roscoe Roy ("Spenny") Spencer, who invented a new kind of vaccine (macerated insects which carry the virus of disease) and tried it out first on himself; Dr. Carl Voegtlin, pharmacologist, who has accumulated so many facts about the chemistry of cell growth that last week he dared to hint that just around the biological corner lie chemical cures for cancers...
...only Shakespeare could waken their enthusiasm again, and show Essex his danger and his opportunity. And so the "History of King Richard II" was put on the boards on the Bankside, with a double moral for its time.

S. The accord contained a joker particularly unpleasant to Italy: a deeply buried hint of Franco-British naval accord in the Mediterranean. Benito Mussolini dealt gently with his deposed Grandi. Day after his removal was announced, Grandi was appointed Ambassador to Great Britain. It was not a mere face-saving gesture. Ambassador Grandi will have real work, important work to do in London...
