...week in the Albany River where it empties into bleak James Bay. A man carrying a sheaf of papers went ashore with the pilot and walked toward a line of unpainted shacks and squalid tents on-the river bank. Huskies, chained to stakes around every dwelling, set up a howl. Ragged Indian children left their baseball game on the muskeg to crowd around the strangers...
Moody, young (46) General Hu Tsung-nan was fond of taking lonely walks. Suddenly he would stop, beat his chest in Tarzan fashion, and howl to the heavens. Ex plained Hu : "Thus do I free myself of internal and external pressures." Friends urged him to take a wife. General Hu, short, sturdy watchdog of China's north west, shook his head.

It is a rare condition (first described ten years ago by Johns Hopkins Neurologist Frank R. Ford), probably due to a defect...
...correct thing to do is to tell the Italians that they can choose almost any party they like, but not Communism. The U.S. should make it clear now that it will use force, if necessary, to prevent Italy from going Communist. What a howl would go up! But Italy, a great country, is a nation we have just defeated. We had to fight Italy because she was politically so decadent or so immature or so irresponsible as to accept a Fascist regime which, beside being antidemocratic, constituted a menace to other nations. There is no reason to allow...
