S., 1936, of whom approximately 140,000 are in active practice. Of these more than 103,000 are members of the American Medical Association...
Lovelock's time was 3:47.8, a new world's record by a round second. The next four finishers-Cunningham, Beccali, San Romani, Edwards-broke the Olympic record of 3:51.2.

The fact is ... historians now agree that the Battle of New Orleans was fought before not after, the War of 1812 was over. Said the Treaty of Ghent, signed Dec. 24, 1814: "All hostilities, both...
TIME failed to characterize the rhyming of "joining" and "returning" as Brooklynese because to do so would be incorrect. Any Brooklynite who pronounces "joining"' as "jerning," must of necessity pronounce "returning" as "retoining." In no dialect that TIME can discover would that particular couplet of Gloomy Sunday rhyme...
