...beneficent invasion and conquest, is a magnificent epitome of the surgical art. " 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,' but only the surgeon knows how uneasy lies the head that wields the knife. It requires such intrepidity, such clairvoyance. Cutting must be done with such consummate skill that no unnecessary or vital structure be injured. The layman thinks of an operation as purely a wielding of the knife. The surgeon actually does much more in hemostasis, in clean removal of pathological conditions, in the restoration of normal relations, in the sewing of tissues, and the closure...
...derived from marsh gas, has been tried out as a new anesthetic at the Universities of Toronto and Wisconsin, with favorable results. Cyclopropane is not unpleasant to take, without harmful effects on the heart, less inflammable than other anesthetic gases, as relaxing to the patient as ether. ¶ Oxygen skillfully injected in small quantities under the skin will accomplish almost everything that inhaled oxygen does. A pint of subcutaneous oxygen has the beneficial effects of several hundred gallons of inhaled oxygen. Presuming skill on the part of the doctor, injected oxygen lessens the cost and speeds the efficacy of oxygen...
...finalists, four men and four women, went through their paces: three deadstick landings to a spot, two loops, a spin, two Immelman turns, two snap rolls-not prodigious feats, but calling for skill.

Not so good as Mrs. Kenyon at spot landings, but unsurpassed at aerobatics was an engaging young man named Felix William ("Bill") Zelcer, proprietor of Manhattan's famed White Horse Tavern...
When President Harry Warner countermanded his order, Producer Zanuck resigned (TIME, May 1). A sharp-faced little man with a rasping voice, abnormal quantities of almost hysterical energy and a wildly eccentric sense of humor, Zanuck's reputation in Hollywood was founded on his skill in handling the realism that has been cinema's most noteworthy development since talkies. Unsympathetic to drawing room comedy, Cinderella romance, mechanical spectacle or pure pornography, Producer Zanuck likes to deal lightheartedly with episodic scenarios about lively, colorful plebeians-with James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, William Powell impersonating taxi-drivers, reporters, gamblers, shysters...
...asleep on third base in the important game with St. Louis. Teams which function unexpectedly in the regular season may function even more strangely when they play against each other. If that is the case, when the Giants meet the Senators the World Series may be decided by managerial skill. Next week's will be the first World Series since 1906-when the Chicago White Sox under Fielder Jones beat the Chicago Cubs under Frank Chance-between two teams with player-managers...
