...where poor people can get complete medical service for very little ($1 to $5 a day) or, if they cannot pay, for nothing. Bellevue, though laboriously breezy and cliché-ridden, gives a thoroughgoing picture of the place-a smell of lysol; a babble of dialects and foreign tongues; tin benches (to discourage lice) in the clinic waiting rooms; tenement mothers cursing their offspring like truck drivers; dozing cops on guard at the bedsides of laid-up malefactors; a sign in the Accident Ward: DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING UNLESS THE NURSE SAYS IT IS ALL RIGHT...

Meanwhile, Wall Street anticipated a shower of back-dividend payments...
...prepare for, an adventure toward the equator. If the Japanese were to accomplish their much-vaunted New Order in this area, U. S. economy might be severely dislocated. Materials for a range of products all the way from tires to electric-light filaments, from tea to teak, from tin for canning to quinine for malaria, would become drastically scarce in the U. S. until substitutes could be produced in sufficient quantities. What the U. S. can do about it is limited by the fact that the East Indies lie some 2,000 miles outside the arc of effective...
