...Tucker Sanatorium in Richmond, Va. occupies a mansion where President James Monroe once lived. Still nourishing is a grapevine which Monroe imported from France and planted himself. Dr. Beverley Randolph Tucker, Richmond's leading neurologist, is a descendant of several First Families of Virginia. He took over the property in 1915. Thither, four years ago, was carried a strange patient, a delicate, wistful-eyed old Richmond lady who would not grow old. Her body, dressed as a little girl, was 61 years of age. Her mind and behavior were not more than seven...
...Damita, announced last December that they would go on a second honeymoon instead of getting a divorce, was known to the barroom clientele of Sydney, Australia, as a happy-go-lucky, well-set-up young Irishman from the New Guinea gold fields who had lately celebrated himself into a sanatorium, had not been on his uppers long before his abandoned claim was bought for $5,000.

Secret Service and Propaganda Ministry officials were present at the interview and a Nazi doctor ominously warned.

Last week it was belatedly discovered that Mr. Meehan, far from recovering after his preliminary bout with SEC, had been confined since last August to Bloomingdale Hospital, a sanatorium near Manhattan for the treatment of nervous and mental disorders. On the application of his wife and the advice of two alienists, the 42-year-old broker had been committed by New York Supreme Court Justice William F. Bleakley just before that jurist accepted the Republican nomination for Governor of New York...
