Backstage Toscanini quickly recovered. Not really blinded, he had been dazed, upset, enraged. Cameramen have long been requested not to use flashlights near the Maestro's weak eyes. The request was disregarded when he arrived in the U. S. last January. Last week the shock was greater because he was under a heavier strain. After his next-to-last concert when the audience stood cheering him for 15 minutes, Toscanini had shut himself up in his dressing-room and wept...
...assuaged by the buzzing in his large, well-shaped head of some such exciting thought as the following: "If Warren Harding could get the Republican Presidential nomination in 1920, why can't I get it in 1936?" Like Harding, "Dick" Dickinson, with his big frame, Roman features and shock of silver-white hair, makes a handsome, impressive figure. Like Harding, he would personify a return to normalcy after a hectic Democratic regime. For Dark Horse Dickinson, oldtime Harding supporters have been quietly conducting the same kind of preconvention campaign that Harry Daugherty put on for his Dark Horse...
...symptoms of coronary thrombosis were set forth last week by Drs. Master, Jaffe & Dack as follows: "Severe pain in the chest, signs of shock, a drop in blood pressure, increase in the number of white blood cells, fever, diminution in intensity of heart sounds, a pericardial rub and typical electrocardiographic changes (q, t and rs-t deviations) serve as evidence of an attack of thrombosis.

When nausea or vomiting is present, food is avoided; if it persists, bits of cracked ice and sips of charged water are given. The diet is slowly increased so that in five to seven days the patient is receiving a 750-850 calorie diet. An endeavor is made...
Eight years ago U. S. readers were mostly unaware that the late great German Army had been made up of human beings. To the few that read it, a little book called Way of Sacrifice, by a Prussian officer who had fought before Verdun, came with the shock of revelation. Few months later a much wider U. S. audience was discovering The Case of Sergeant Grischa. Though it never became such an enormous seller as All Quiet on the Western Front, it soon ranked as a modern classic, has sold nearly 250,000 copies in English translation alone. Those...
