Reported Dr. Herbert Pollack of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital, formerly the Army's chief medical consultant in the ETO: the powdered-milk-&-egg mixture, which is 50% whole protein, was fed to 92,000 liberated G.I.s, of whom 40% were suffering from severe malnutrition, and another 40% were undernourished. Only eight died (a few others were killed by kindness when sympathetic soldiers and civilians threw them indigestible foods as they rode westward from Germany). Wounded and post-operative patients, fed this same bland mixture, were up & about in a third less time than had been customary. Pollack...
When the Warden heard about Prisoner Stiles's leisure-time project, he sent some Stiles drawings to nearby Mare Island naval base. The Navy offered tools and materials, later supplied a human guinea pig: 25-year-old Lieut. Howard Pollack, who had lost his right arm in the South Pacific campaign. Stiles, with Lieut. Pollack's cooperation, eventually developed an artificial hand which he claimed would tweeze, grip, poke, carry and press. A Stiles-equipped amputee might thus be able to bowl, play golf, pick up a pin, hold a cigaret, button his own sleeve...

Major Glenn Miller, 39, begoggled, popular trombonist and bandsman, leader of the Army Air Forces Band currently entertaining in Paris; while a passenger on a flight from England to Paris.

...acting is markedly superior to the general run of collegiate productions, with the Radcliffe girls adroitly putting their Harvard cousins into the background. Leslie Paul, Radcliffe '45, gives a well-polished performance as the sympathetic aunt, and Claire Pollack is much more than the comic family retainer. Marilyn Whisman in the title role, though inclined to be over-tragic in places, carries the role by her obvious sincerity. For Harvard, George Clay '43, makes the most of some comic lines, and Mendy Weisgal and Donald Gair, both '45, play the supporting role with conviction...
...Pearl Pollack's characterization of the House-keeper afforded what were perhaps the most enjoyable moments of the play, but Leslie Paul in the less rewarding role of the Aunt gave a performance outstanding for its sustained restraint and subtlety of characterization. Marilyn Whisman was the third of the Radcliffe trio which took top honors for the evening. Her Rosita was less assured than the others' characterizations, but her main fault was in trying to read a third and dramatic dimension into a character left two-dimensional by the author...
