...free flow of lymph to the site of the wound. Lymph, in some manner which Dr. Drinker still is trying to learn, destroys germs. If, as in an inflamed wound, it cannot reach invading germs the instant they touch the raw flesh, the germs swiftly get into the blood stream where the lymph can do no good and the blood serum must perform all the germicidal work by itself...
...House of Coleman: flighty, spoiled Dowager Fanny Coleman; her children: square-faced, ruthless Christopher, executive head of the business, who engineers his mother into an asylum; Greg, a notorious playboy; Corinne, sexually inhibited divorcee; Gay, a liberal professor at Columbia University. Considering each of the Colemans as a main stream of his story, Author Rice feeds into them as many tributaries as he can trace down.

Sex differentiation begins in the male embryo earlier than in the female, and the sex-differentiating male hormones (chemical controllers of development) in the blood stream shift the female twin's development in the male direction. The result is that the female is to a greater or less degree a compromise between normal maleness and femaleness. In some cases there are obvious anatomical evidences of this-in others, not; but sterility almost always...
...gloomy old State Department Building many a window stayed lighted all night long last week while clerks decoded a stream of cables that poured in from abroad. Across the street in the White House, foreign words and wars were the main concern also of the man who had set the State Department to working overtime. Having previously decided that he wanted an extra session of Congress and what he wanted it to do, Franklin Roosevelt's major job in Washington was to deal with the reverberations, political and international, that followed his announcement in Chicago of a new foreign...
