Mayer had written in the Socialist organ, Le Populaire: "The nation no longer wants to read slogans which . . . recall the methods of totalitarian propaganda, f France] has nothing to gain from being exclusively aligned on Russian foreign policy. . . . We must not be cut off from the Anglo-Saxon world, nor from Russia either for that matter. . . . [But] the nation does not want Maurice Thorez to be premier...

...only recently admitted foreigners, and even substantial citizens still clung to their old ways. According to Chinese medical lore, the pulses were of prime importance in diagnosis-both the right and the left pulse, tested at three points on each wrist, each point revealing the condition of a particular organ. A freshly killed rooster helped to drive away fever. At time of childbirth, opened doors, cupboards and trunks helped to keep the birth canal open. A respectable lady did not allow a male doctor to examine her person. Hidden behind the bed curtains, she extended first one wrist, then...
