There is a savage pleasure in kicking the opposing tackle in the face, but one can only...
After five years' effort to synthesize a harmless, efficient local anesthetic, a Columbia University Research physiologist, Dr. Raymond Lester Osborne, in Science last week reported success.

There are ten forward speeds, six reverse...

Local critics were sure that St. Louis would never forget Casadesus, that Casadesus would never forget St. Louis...
