...Punch. The Wehrmacht still fought with skill and fury but it could not deny victory to the Russians. What it desperately sought now was to survive as an army, establish yet another line of defense, prevent the infection of defeat from spreading northward. It remained a powerful fighting organism. But there were signs of decay. Behind the Russian lines straggled mobs of dejected prisoners. Except at a few picked points, the German defense in the south was confused and ill-directed...

Tulane's chief interest is in preventive tropical medicine. Matter-of-fact Dr. Faust says the first step in protecting the U.S. is to prevent soldiers abroad from getting tropical diseases, the second step is to prevent the diseases from spreading. Most Tulane postgraduates are men strategically placed to do something about tropical-disease prevention: they are either 1) Army doctors or 2) civilian doctors who teach in other medical schools (their tuition is paid...
