...police asked the paraders to disperse. They refused. Then one of the young Communists up front yelled the old revolutionary slogan: "Aux barricades!" Demonstrators grabbed wooden trestles placed along the sidewalks to contain the crowds and laid them across the road. Iron chairs from Fouquet's and other open-air cafes were added. Paving stones were ripped up. Soon a stout barricade was built. The police did not move...
...carried inside the rocket with the blades folded back. Blown free at the top of the rocket's trajectory, it falls rapidly in the near-vacuum 60 to 100 miles up. When it reaches the denser atmosphere below, it straightens out and begins to revolve. The blades open. Spinning like a maple seed, the rotochute slows down and lands its load of instruments at a safe 27 m.p.h...
Then came some dashes of cold water. A presidential press secretary told newsmen that no such meeting was planned, although the President's invitation to Stalin to come to Washington was still open. And in Paris, Secretary of State George C. Marshall implied that such reports as Coffin's merely played into the hands of Soviet propagandists.

...inner lining (endothelium), along with the dead tissue, calcium and fatlike substances, might lead to dangerous clotting. A team of five French doctors, headed by Dr. Louis Bazy, chief surgeon of Paris' St. Louis Hospital, has now apparently learned the trick. Dr. Bazy's team splits open the artery (in extreme cases for as much as two feet), scrapes out the stoppage, sews it up again. In a few minutes nature deposits white corpuscles along the wall of the scraped-out artery; the corpuscles take the place, temporarily, of the endothelium...
