...knee of his father, gallus-snapping "Ol' Gene" Talmadge, one of the South's most notorious rabblerousers, governor of Georgia for six years (1933-36, 41-42). Herman watched his father run the state with the fist of a dictator, spit tobacco at his foes and graze milk cows on the statehouse lawn. He also saw his father try-and fail-to do what Herman has now done: turn Walter George out of the U.S. Senate...
...Running a house and taking care of four children takes about the same amount of stamina and nervous energy as jerking sodas." When children get out of bounds, Krauss counseled readers, spank them. (With their parents' consent, he did.) A few things went awry, e.g., little Melina sprayed milk over the windows Krauss had just washed, but he fed the family, bathed the baby, made the beds, did laundry and read fairy tales to the children.

He knew of no such case in human babies, but Dr. Lahey sent a sample of Jo Ellen's blood serum to Salt Lake City to be tested. Last Thanksgiving Eve, Mrs. Ellen Koenig phoned her husband from the hospital to say: "They're releasing Jo Ellen undiagnosed" (meaning incurable, in this case). At the same moment Dr. Lahey's phone was jangling...
...last six months Cincinnati doctors have tried the treatment on seven other pale and puffy infants with the same good results, and now doctors in California are duplicating the work. The one feature common to all the cases is that the children were fed mostly milk; though all had vitamins, some also had a few vegetables, and a few had a little meat. Just why they are deficient in iron and copper is not clear; neither is it known whether they will have to continue taking extra iron and copper rations all their lives...
