...abscess in a lower right molar and the President stayed in bed. By Wednesday, Franklin Roosevelt had a temperature and it looked as though the molar would have to be extracted. On Thursday, Commander Yando yanked it out. Friday the President was recuperating. After the weekend, his temperature was normal but the President still felt poorly enough to stay in Washington and rest instead of going to Warm Springs, Ga. for Thanksgiving...
...Government would impose on every bushel sold over Department of Agriculture marketing quotas a penalty tax of 50% of its price-provided that, in a referendum before the scheme goes into effect, two-thirds of the farmers affected approve the plan. Secretary Wallace's ever-normal granary would apply to both crops: the Government would begin to buy wheat for use in periods of scarcity when the supply is 10% above normal, corn when it reaches normal.

No bacteriologist before Miss Broadhurst, who began her long career by teaching biology at New Jersey State Normal School, seems to have used nigrosin to stain, and therefore to see, these measles inclusion bodies...
...beyond biology's present knowledge. Dr. Young guesses: "Fundamentally these disturbances of development must rest on the original chromosome formula" in the fertilized ovum which turns into a hermaphroditic baby. The embryo through the sixth to seventh week shows no differentiation into male or female. Thereafter, in the normal course of gestation, the primitive gonad becomes male or female, and the rest of the genital apparatus follows suit. But, in an astonishingly frequent number of gestations, something occurs to interfere with the development of the accessory male or female apparatus. The only thing a doctor can do about...

One hermaphrodite, who passed as a Negress, told him: "I have derived great pleasure from, many sexual affairs with women, and never with my two husbands."
