...succeeded in getting junior officers to carry out their orders. To prevent such actions in the future, General Fernand Gambiez and others have spent three years rewriting the French military code.

Dr. Schroeder had also pointed out a mechanism by which diabetes may develop in adult Americans, and he had outlined an approach to prevention of the disease...
