Well preserved by the alcohol,* Jones's body was autopsied by Paris Pathologist André Victor Cornil, who snipped bits of tissue from the heart, lungs, spleen and kidneys. The lungs showed evidence of pneumonia and possibly TB, from which Jones was known to have suffered. The kidney tissue showed the effects of nephritis, from which the great captain had died. Pathologist Cornil had the kidney slides photographed; the pictures were sent to the U.S. Congress along with Ambassador Porter's report...
Like any G.P., DeTar has his share of emergency calls. But night calls have dropped off ever since he was felled by virus pneumonia ten years ago. Although he performs minor surgery, e.g., cyst removals, suturing cuts, in his office and performs tonsilectomies in a nearby hospital, he refuses to perform bigger operations.

...health officers swung into action, checking turkey handlers for signs of ornithosis infection,* they found an alarmingly high rate of human illness. By last week they had recorded 60 suspected cases (though some could prove to be viral pneumonia). The farms turned up only seven cases of apparent ornithosis.

At this plant, out of 32 employees, 24 became ill, a dozen hospitalized. At other plants there were 29 cases. Two died, but State Epidemiologist...
...Belvedere mannerisms to give a terse performance as Montagu, the intelligence officer who has more trouble selling his own high command than he does in hoodwinking the Germans. His toughest job is finding a proper body: that of a man of military age who has just died of pneumonia-so there will be enough fluid in the lungs to fool a Spanish prosector into believing the man has drowned. So long as the film remains a documentary, its detail is fascinating, whether it is the slow building of a personality and past life for the dead man or the grisly...
