Favorite was blond Bernd Rosemeyer of Germany who last year won seven out of eight Grand Prix races in Europe, easily outclassed Italy's Tazio Nuvolari, the 1936 Vanderbilt Cup winner. Rosemeyer got away fast at the start this week, temporarily yielded his lead to his countryman Rudolf Caracciola until the tenth lap. Noisiest and swiftest (160 m.p.h.) on the straightaways, Rosemeyer roared up a lead of two-thirds of a lap before the race was one-third run. Headed only when he dropped out for tire changes on the 79th lap, Rosemeyer soon caught young Dick Seaman...

...there had never before appeared so thoroughgoing a study of the human lung. Dr. Miller's 20g-page monograph-including an affectionate dedication to his wife who was once his student-took its place overnight beside such classics as William Harvey's Motion of the Heart & Blood, Rudolf Virchow's Cellular Pathology. Some well and lesser known facts covered by The Lung...
