...much about him, more about British politics. Statesmen out of office make speeches in the U. S., particularly at college commencements; are shot in Russia, generally after confessing themselves allied to Jack the Ripper; disappear in Germany without having a chance to do that. But in Great Britain they may step back to the House of Commons, start over, criticize and mold Government policy by the weight of their experience-particularly if, as in the case of Mr. Churchill, events prove their judgment correct, and they have a good chance to get back into power...

[They] . . . respond to food more quickly ... exhibit much greater vigor in flight reactions, exhibit less caution. . . . The operation seems to improve their personalities, but their social relations are completely lost."
