...Vinson Bill calls for full and immediate cash payment of the Bonus, plus remission of interest on the $1,500,000,000 veterans have borrowed on their certificates since 1031. Unlike the Patman Bill, which specifies payment by a new issue of currency, the Vinson Bill offers no method of financing...
...anxiety. In three short years this handsome, affable German Jew had grown from a minor competitor to a major menace. As the principal owner of Arnold Bernstein Line, biggest of the transatlantic independents, he had more than held his own against an international shipping combine by the simple method of selling transportation cheaper than anyone else. Hugely successful at 45, he had bought Red Star Line lock, stock & barrel from International Mercantile Marine for $1,000,000 last month after practically running that 61-year-old concern off the sea with his cut rates (TIME, Feb. 18). Now that...
...cold cash and a five-year pension of $500,000 annually, he was well able to finance a comeback if he could find something to come back with.

The theory is that the thyroid drives the heart more than the heart can stand and that without the thyroid's slave-driving the heart can take its own time and method of pumping blood through the coronary arteries. Thyroidectomy does relieve drive on the heart and does prevent angina. But it does not cure the source of trouble and, except for lifelong dosing with the thyroid hormone, makes an idiot of the coronary patient...
...film lay long years and millions of dollars of experimental work. Patient sponsors were London's venerable Spicers Ltd., makers of fine paper. The idea stems back to a crude geometrical color screen constructed in France 25 years ago by Louis Dufay. But so complex is the perfected method that some 500 patents were necessary to bring it up to the commercial stage. And it would not have been possible if the researchers had not had at their disposal the best modern panchromatic, high-speed, fine-grained emulsions...
