...recent Russian literary works, Fear, though written by a proletarian, is not Soviet propaganda. It aims to show the miseries of the proletariat under Soviet rule, to make a case for the survivors of the Tsarist aristocracy. Its hero, Ivan Ilich Borodin, scientific director of the Institute of Physiological Stimuli, is patently patterned after Physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1904. At first Fear was banned by Soviet authorities as counterrevolutionary. Later its production was permitted as part of the U. S. S. R.'s self-criticism plan. Last week it received...

Or inflation because the Government might reduce the gold content of the dollar. Or simply inflation in expectation of inflation. Inflation or inflation...
Muscles involved in sneezing get their nervous orders from the sneezing centre in the medulla oblongata, all important part of the central nervous system between the brain and spine. The sneezing centre in turn is roused by stimuli along the trigeminus nerve which carries sensations of touch, pain and temperature from the skin of the face, the adjoining parts of the scalp, the mucous membrane lining of nose & throat and from the teeth and eyes. A sudden bright light may cause a sneeze, as may a strong odor. Diseased teeth, sinuses, nose or throat may affect the trigeminus, arouse...
