...Best foreign exhibit-obviously designed to win U. S. friends-is the Japanese pavilion. An old Nipponese castle around a small lake, the pavilion demonstrates the manufacture of silk, parasols, dolls; offers a culinary oddity, tea ice-cream, nauseous grey-green in color, but pleasantly piquant in taste...
Noticing a "For Rent" sign on a vacant farmhouse near Chicago's suburban Deerfield, a passerby stopped in to look around. In the backyard he heard feeble whimpers coming from a little shack, smashed a window. Braving a nauseous stench, he crawled inside, found six Scotch terriers huddled in a corner.

...Supreme Court, when that body is eventually faced with a test case. He then proceeds to discuss the philosophy, life, and opinions of the judges, in an attempt partially to predict their decisions.

He sweats, germs within him begin to die, injured tissues and nerves begin to heal. Profuse sweating weakens the patient. He feels nauseous, vomits, has cramps, twitches. Attendants stop all this by giving the patient plenty of salty water. The sweating causes another inconvenience. The healing radio waves collect in the sweat droplets, scald the patient. General Motors' Engineer Charles Franklin Kettering who bought the radiotherm from General Electric (whose Chemist Willis...
