From exile-in France, then England, finally the U.S.-Carlo Sforza crusaded against Benito Mussolini ("a demagogue, a charlatan, a cheap egocentric, a quisling of Hitler") and Fascismo ("an artificial and corrupt house of cards which will fall some day in a few hours"). A patient, humane man, with historical perspective, he believed that his nation had strayed into its most tragic hour, but that in good time the countrymen of Dante and Galileo, Michelangelo and Mazzini, Verdi and Ferrero, would come out all right. "They are grand, they are grand!" he said as the little people of Italy turned...
...have long espoused the newfangled ideas which old-fashioned Henry Ford has never completely accepted. The three: stocky, balding Laurence Spence Sheldrick, who came to Ford 20 years ago and has long worked as chief engineer; lean, sandy-haired Eugene Turrenne Gregorie, boss of the body-design division; quiet, patient Cornelius Willett Van Ranst, who helped develop the Ford airplane motor which now powers Ford-made tanks...

This condition of the follicles, says he, "differs in no important way from the descriptions of the follicular lesions attributed to vitamin A deficiency"; in fact, he thinks the two conditions are identical...
A.M.Animosity. From all over the U.S., at salaries of $450 a month and up, Garfield hired the best doctors he could persuade to risk American Medical Association ostracism. (A.M.A. routinely objects when a patient is denied free choice of physician.) In California, more social-minded than most states, the Medical Association was not so obdurate: after a short period of skepticism, the local California doctors cooperated fully with Garfield's 60 physicians. But the Northern Permanente Hospital at Vancouver ran afoul of the A.M.A.'s "invisible hand": through the Government's Procurement and Assignment Service, the A.M.A...
