...Romulo Gallegos and Foreign Minister Andres Blanco. It seemed more like an ambassador's tea than an art exhibition. But the paintings-hung by the Library of Congress as a gesture of inter-American good, will-spoke anything but the language of diplomacy. The work of a brooding, hollow-cheeked man named Héctor Poleo, they were fierce and fearful as a prophecy of doom...
...incessant roar of the planes-that typical and terrible 20th Century sound, a voice of cold mechanized anger-filled every ear in the city. It reverberated in the bizarre stone ears of the hollow, broken houses; it throbbed in the weary ears of Berlin's people who were bitter, afraid, but far from broken; it echoed in the intently listening ear of history.

X-ray pictures are taken to establish the exact position of the thalamus; the legs of the instrument are adjusted to place the needle exactly over it. The patient is anesthetized, and a piece of bone directly under the needle...
