...population of Kolomna, carefully primed by Dictator Stalin's propagandists to witness a great scientific conquest by their nation, poured across the Moscow River to greet the aeronauts. Pilot George Prokofiev mounted the gondola, harangued the crowd with a lecture in which he credited the flight's success entirely to the Proletarian Revolution and the Communist Party. His companions, Ernest Birnbaum and Constantin Godunov, declared the balloon's scientific apparatus had worked perfectly. They found the sky at 11 mi. altitude a deep, soft violet ; they had been unable to detect the earth's curvature...
...university professor's family has fallen hard for the exciting propaganda of an unnamed European Chancellor. Anti-Semitism is the statesman's chief principle.

...complete socialization of medical treatment, including national health insurance, is an inevitable part of the planned economic life which seems to be in store for America. It has succeeded in Europe to a large extent through the cooperation of the medical schools and their attendant hospitals. But underlying the success of this radical change, there must be a new conception on the part of the young doctor, whether in the country clinic, city office, or hospital ward, of his duty to the community. It will be the chief work of the medical school to teach him this outlook...
