Pius also made Nazis squirm on the subject of Poland: "The blood of countless human beings, even noncombatants, raises a piteous dirge over a nation such as our dear Poland, which, for its fidelity to the church, for its services in the defense of Christian civilization, written in indelible characters in the annals of history, has a right to the generous and brotherly sympathy of the whole world, while it awaits . . . the hour of a resurrection in harmony with the principles of justice and true peace...

...mercy of a muddled playwright and an arty director, a not untalented cast was doomed from the start. Apparently assuming that twisted bodies mean twisted souls, they writhed like the Laocoon group. A revolutionary solemnly announced that only a small part of the human race have their heads cut off.

Shell to Nerve. The human hearing machine consists of three labyrinths: the outer, middle and inner ear. Mostly decoration, the pink shell of the outer ear collects sound waves, passes them through a long, protective canal to the eardrum. Sound waves striking the drum set up vibrations which are transmitted through the three delicate lever-bones of the middle ear-the "hammer, anvil and stirrup"-into the inner ear. There the main sound-wave receiver is sunk deep in a massive bone at the base of the skull. This receiver is a winding snail of bone, the cochlea, filled with...
