...Democrats to serve as their political white hope, Wilbur Cross went to work as quietly as usual to get a questionable Waterbury Democrat dropped from the State ticket. Cross did not say he would not run if Daniel J. Leary was nominated for Lieutenant Governor. But he did insist that the nomination for Governor be held in abeyance until after the nomination of a candidate for second place on the slate.

...Kenny's understanding of poliomyelitis is all wrong. No one now denies that Sister Kenny is good with her hands (in Minneapolis, where formerly about 85% of polio sufferers were left with paralysis, the Kenny method now makes all but 20% as good as new), but her critics insist that she does not really know how she does...
