...drew forth as royal presents for the President two lion skins and a photograph of his father-in-law in a gold frame. (President Hoover had sent the Emperor his autographed photograph for a coronation gift.) The meal that followed was a difficult one. President Roosevelt's stomach was still bothering him. The Ras, a Coptic Christian, could eat no meat, milk or butter that day. Mrs. Henry Nesbit, White Housekeeper, served clams, fish, three vegetables, fruit salad, water biscuits, pineapple ice. The Prince passed up the clams. Next day was Emperor Haile Selassie's birthday. The President...
President Roosevelt had a mild stomach ache last week when the stockmarket took its first bad tumble of the New Deal. His ailment was not due to the sudden shriveling of security values but to an excess of cherries and bottled "pop" which he had consumed during a visit to Maryland's Eastern Shore. His indisposition started crazy rumors around brokers' offices that he was gravely ill, that he had suffered a stroke of paralysis, that he was already dead and laid out (see p. 45). "Look at me!" he grinned to newsmen when he returned...

McClatchy died four days later in a Philadelphia hospital...
...genetically recessive characteristic, whereas resistance to cancer is like dark hair, a dominant characteristic. Susceptibility alone probably is not enough to insure a person's developing a cancer. There must also be an external factor (a bruise, for example) reacting with an internal factor (chronic irritation of the stomach, for example). Breeding mice, caring for them until they died of age or disease, and then cutting them open for microscopic study led Professor Slye to these conclusions. She started raising mice when she was a tiny child but her actual work began in 1908 when...
Oblique evangelism is an attitude which many a devout Christian cannot stomach. He cannot picture Paul sidling into a school, hospital or household. Dr. James De Wolf Perry, presiding bishop of the Episcopalians, went to Japan and China at his own expense to see personally if his missionaries there were carrying on like that. Three weeks ago he returned, convinced that they still put their religious teachings above social welfare...
