...were two kidnappers and their victim, Brooke Hart, 22. son of San Jose's wealthiest department store owner. On the San Mateo bridge across a corner of San Francisco Bay, the car stopped. The three men got out. One of them from behind smashed Brooke Hart's skull with a brick. Together they bound his limp body with baling wire, stole his wallet, lifted him over the bridge railing, heaved him into San Francisco...
Medical Economics, "business magazine of the medical profession," last week tried to answer the doctor's perpetual question: How much shall I charge? In different communities, surgeons charge from $100 to $5,000 to remove a tumor from the bladder, $50 to $2,000 to repair a fractured skull.

The court acquitted Dr. Beaumont. In 1853, aged 67, he slipped on an icy flight of steps, developed a carbuncle on his neck, died within a month...
...just heard of a thing that happened to an anthropologist connected with Harvard who got back some months ago from two years in East Africa. He was going through the Grand Central here, his mind still full of scientific data, including skull measurements and the shape of crania, when he caught sight of a Redcap who seemed unmistakably to have the Semitic cast of features of the Swahili Africans. He went up to the darky and began jabbering away in Swahili, and in a couple of seconds the Redcap was down bumping his head on the floor and thrashing...
