Spanish moss drooped from the big trees in the gloomy forest; where the country was open, sluggish streams meandered through marshes. Stolid, patient Lieut. General Walter Krueger was expecting an attack. He got it. His opponent's armor knifed into the center of Krueger's positions. It looked bad for Krueger's army. But when the armor tried to exploit its advantage, Krueger capitalized on the water-broken terrain, threw in his air force and destroyed the armor.

Once, when Tamblyn & Brown were getting nowhere with a drive for Williams College, they happened to print a part of the College song, The Mountains, in a pamphlet. Checks fluttered in. When Horace Dutton...
...Penicillin lozenges, made of penicillin and gelatin, will clear up trench mouth in a day, tonsillitis in two days, say Britain's Drs. Alexander B. MacGregor and David A. Long. Lozenges have a "very slightly bitter taste" but one patient ate ten in five minutes...
