Richest and largest of the Balkans, Rumania is surrounded by nations which have long and impatiently waited for a chance to grab back some of the territories they had previously lost to the Rumanians. Revisionist-mad Hungarians long for the return of the Banat, Bukovina and Transylvania, old Hungarian provinces lost after the World War to Rumania, peopled now by some 1,500,000 Magyars and 800,000 Germans. Bulgaria has never forgotten that she lost part of the province of Dobruja to Rumania in 1913 and that some 500,000 Dobrujans are now Rumanian subjects. Bessarabia, to the northeast...

Every one of the fields in this grouping records a substantial increase over the figures for the Class of '41. History, with a rise from 82 to 103, shows the largest gain of any field. Government has 12 more concentrators, going from...
...hard-fought was the battle which raged in the country's largest medical community last week as five thousand New York County members of the State Medical Society prepared to vote on the bald question: "Do you . . . favor compulsory health insurance [in New York State]?" Exactly how members were divided no one ventured to predict, but certain it was that the opposition was well organized. For the last few months Manhattan physicians have been bombarded with propaganda drawn up by smart Publicist Edward Bernays, financed by anti-New Dealer Frank Gannett, who was quick to capitalize on the American...
