...Upshot: The Senatorial investigators disbanded quickly, Senator Burton Kendall Wheeler, most active inquisitor, sailing for Europe, without indicating whether or not they would make a report on this investigation of the Food, Drug & Insecticide Administration. If a report is made, the tenor of the final hearings last week indicated it will whitewash the U.S. administrators, as they have been whitewashed since the official days of the late Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley (see pg. 32), and it will recommend increased appropriation for Administration work.

...university at Moscow, joins the kaleidoscopic crowd of young intellectuals, who drink, smoke, make love, talk, talk, talk. A sensualist, without strong affections, Clim tries to imagine himself in love with Lidia; he becomes her lover, is relieved not to have the affair end in marriage. There is no upshot to the story; with a description of the Exposition at Nizhni-Novgorod it comes to an abrupt...
