...Germans reached Bialystok last week Comrade Stalin came out with his answer. Reputedly closer to Stalin than Molotov is A. A. Zhdanov, who as director of Russia's press, runs Pravda. To Zhdanov's Pravda went the honor of answering the riddle, but Pravda's editorial bore the unmistakable stamp of Stalin's heavyhanded, question-and-answer style so plainly that it unquestionably belonged with such Stalin masterpieces as his famed "Dizziness from Success" article on the collective farms. In some respects it suggested that such monumental successes as last week's had left Russians...
...summers Dr. Hrdlicka has rummaged around the islands, looking for traces of Mongolian wanderers. First great evidence for his theory turned up in 1931, when, on the island of Kodiak, he discovered a nest of long-headed skulls remarkably similar to those of Algonquin Indians.

...known the world over, had an opportunity to preen their feathers at Newport Art Association's Gushing Memorial Gallery. There, an eminently back-scratching collection of family portraits, paintings, historic prints and photographs was gathered to celebrate the town's 300th birthday.

Fortnight ago BBC commissioned a novel for serial broadcasting, 20 minutes every Sunday. Commissioned novelist: J. B. Priestley. The radio novel, Let the People Sing, was reported to be another cross-sectioning of British life like The Good Companions...
Last winter, after twelve barren years, frail Mrs. Howard Albert Jackson of Manhattan bore her proud husband a baby girl. For two months the joyous Jacksons showed off little Alice to their admiring friends. Then suddenly they noticed that her head was swelling like a little balloon. The tender fontanel at the top of her head was tense and bulging, and thick blue veins stood out like cords underneath her downy hair. The doctor shook his head, told them that the baby had hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and, like 2,000 other hydrocephalic children born...
