...another 1,500 physiologists from the ends of the earth (280 from the U. S.) streamed into Leningrad's glass-roofed Uritsky Palace last week to constitute the 18th International Physiological Congress. The showpiece of Russian science, 85-year-old Dr. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, mounted the Uritsky rostrum, rang a bell. Long ago Dr. Pavlov conducted an experiment wherein he would ring a bell just before feeding his dogs. Soon the dogs, expecting a meal, would start to water at the mouth at sound of the bell.

Twenty-one-gun salutes rang agreeably in George V's ears-for the thunder of a three-pounder is not noise but music to His seagoing Majesty. That night the British Fleet was "lit up like a Portuguese Carnival"-as an admiring Portuguese diplomat remarked- but next day the King's delighted subjects...
...side. Some of his friends arranged a conference with a doubtful regent who might be persuaded to switch his vote. Late one afternoon Dr. Sealock was waiting to hear the result of that conference when he sat down at his desk, started his letter to Senator Norris. The telephone rang. The doubtful regent had called off the conference. ''It looks like a long fight," said the voice on the telephone. Dr. Sealock finished the letter, sat down to supper.
