Last week this committee reported. It had examined 252 persons, both exposed and not exposed to leaded gasoline and its combusted fumes. Blood, fecal and muscular tests had been made, and a variety of clinical methods had been employed to estimate the amount of lead absorption or ingestion...
What was considered one of the Mayor's best appointments was the naming of George V. McLaughlin as Police Commissioner. Mr. McLaughlin had been Superintendent of State banks. He is not a Tammany man, has held office under both Republicans and Democrats. A six-foot, 207-lb., muscular man, his type is indicated by the story of his first appearance at Police Headquarters?the day before he took office...
...natural player has the faculty of doing many things instinctively and has often the further power, usually lost in late childhood, of accurate physical imitation. He performs remarkably because of fine physical development and temperament coupled with a very fast visual and muscular reaction.

In 1894 a scorching Irishman named Goodbody beat the speedy Hovey, the rare Hobart, and Larned the Nonpareil, but when he met Wrenn he met his finish. In 1897 a strapping Englishman named Eaves (whose name, people said, was really Heaves), crossed the sea and beat the pride of the States, but Wrenn made him drop games like so many...
