...familiar faces crossed the scene. Crowds heard again from Edouard Daladier, France's agent at Munich, and Paul Reynaud, Premier when France fell. Aged (83) but intrepid Edouard Herriot got from meeting to meeting in his wheelchair. Bodyguards propped ailing Communist Chief Maurice Thorez before microphones to breathe a few words on behalf of Red candidates...
...laying down the Labor line with undisputed authority. Before his leadership was a year old, he firmly turned the party from Lansbury's doctrinaire pacifism (he himself was an infantry major at Gallipoli in World War I). He grimly warned Conservatives celebrating "peace in our time" that Munich was "one of the greatest defeats that this country and France have ever sustained." Though leader of a movement traditionally sympathetic to Russia and suspicious of the U.S. Attlee ranged his nation alongside the U.S. in the cold war, in NATO and in Korea...
...embattled and embittered Israelis, Eden's proposal was proof positive that the British Foreign Office would like to carve up their country into tidbits for the Arab states.

Bedside & Laboratories. Page began his work in 1937 at the Lilly Laboratory for Clinical Research at Indianapolis City Hospital, after three years at Munich's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute and six years at the Rockefeller Institute. With Canadian-born Dr. Arthur Curtis Corcoran, who has been teamed with him since 1936, Page made important discoveries on the workings of renin,* an enzyme secreted by the kidney when it is starved of blood. An injection of renin raises the blood pressure. It also alters the fat-protein combinations in the blood in such a way as to encourage atherosclerosis...
