...bears. Little bears. Black bears. Brown bears. Mamma bears. Great strong hammer-sickle thick-coated rocket-powered Soviet bears. They eat 700 Ibs. of lump sugar a day and some day their teeth will fall out, but meanwhile they have been so well trained by Valentin Filatov that they are the essential stars of the Soviet circus. They roller-skate, ride bicycles and scooters, and hang from whirling trapezes. Three of them draw a troika. Two of them fight, wearing boxing gloves. They hook and jab at each other's noses with grizzly accuracy (of course, a bear...
Clad in a snappy suit, Pierre hits the boulevard. He offers to carry a pretty girl's parcels, and they turn out to belong to a fat woman walking behind her. He crashes through the bushes in the park to give a lump of sugar to a poodle on a leash, discovers that the leash holder is walking a baby, not a dog.

Instead of more nourishment, the infant gets an indigestible lump of protein in his stomach and may suffer nausea and diarrhea. The lumps have long baffled doctors; they have even been mistaken for kidney tumors, and hasty operations have been performed on the overfed patients. Doctors have now learned to identify the lumps by X ray, and a pair of Louisville physicians...
Picture of Illness. There was no way of telling from examination of one typical subject if the lump in her left breast was benign or malignant. But the thermogram left little doubt. The picture of the left breast came out lighter than normal; the temperature was about 3° higher than in the other breast. Surgery proved that the lump was cancer. A thermogram of another patient, a 68-year-old man with arteriosclerosis, showed his right leg black from the knee down. Its temperature was below normal. The patient had a blocked artery, was dangerously close to gangrene...
