...bloody operating rooms of France during the War, Dr. Cushing led a life of scientific asceticism. In spite of grueling works (he often performed as many as six operations in one day) he faithfully jotted down his scientific observations. He also found time to keep a detailed journal. As remarkable for its restraint as for its scientific and military detail, the journal tells in vivid doctor's language of Dr. Cushing's siege of Polyneuritis ambulatoria, a crippling inflammation of nerve trunks, which caused the muscles in his soles and palms to waste away. After the Armistice...
...expanding the Reich frontiers. The rolling stock of the Polish Railway Administration was removed from Danzig and environs and "more than 10,000 troops" were moved into Gdynia, Polish port twelve miles from Danzig. The Polish standing Army was increased to some 400,000 men and the Polish Army journal, Polska Zbrojna, published a defiant editorial labeled We Are Ready...
...case would look to Assistant Attorney General Thurman Wesley Arnold. Meanwhile, in Manhattan, he eased his mind: "Mark Twain told me that this was a land of free speech and liberty. Well, so it is, but Dr. Fishbein [Morris Fishbein, A. M. A. spokesman and Journal editor] is a dictator, a Hitler. I believe in organized medicine. Socialization is fatal. But the trouble here is too much concentrated power, power that will not stand for criticism. So I am going down to Washington and see what can be done.

...There are about 6,100 internships available every year. Since graduates of U. S. medical schools totaled less than 5,200 last year, there are "approximately 900 positions that cannot be filled from our own medical schools. . . . Currently a relative shortage of interns exists." This shortage, said the Journal, may be remedied if hospitals induce interns to remain two years instead of one, and accept well-trained graduates of foreign medical schools who pass tests given by the National Board of Medical Examiners...
Last week the metallurgical journal Metal Progress commented on the researches of Professor Daniel Hanson of England's University of Birmingham, who had divided creep into four stages. These are elastic stretch (like rubber); plastic flow (like mud); slower plastic flow; approach to fracture. Professor Hanson's theory of fracture is that the metal atoms, under continuing mechanical stress plus their own agitation due to heat, are moved one by one to new positions so that the whole structure is weakened. When enough atoms are thus individually moved, the metal breaks...
