...Angeles. Wrote Professor Anderson: "Fixed rates in the foreign exchanges are eminently desirable. A temperature of 98.6 in the human body is eminently desirable, but a rigging of the thermometer so that it will always record 98.6 regardless of the fluctuations in the temperature of a sick patient is a rather futile performance...
First reports of the fracas definitely identified only one participant. He was Lieut. Randolph Dickins Jr., of Bradenton, Fla., 6 ft. 2 in., a hero of the Battle of Midway, who had been a combat-fatigue patient at the Navy's Bethesda for ten weeks, after 42 months' service. After the story had broken, Navy superiors permitted Lieut. Dickins to tell his side...
...avert an explosive feud inside WPB (TIME, Sept. 4). Otherwise, the trip's purpose was something of a mystery. But Donald Nelson had bustled happily for 16 days through Chungking's mud and rain, conferred and consulted dynamically with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his advisers.

The salt goes off that way, too, within 24 hours. Keeping the nose dry, he believes, makes a patient less susceptible to secondary infection. His method has been used in Elmira Reformatory's hospital for four years-about 1,300 colds so far-and Dr. Adler says the patients' noses are drier, their temperatures lower, than on standard treatment...
