Requests and Rations. It was not the first U.S. use of penicillin for a civilian (among several hundred who have received it were some victims of the Boston Coconut Grove fire), but it was by far the most publicized. Within a few hours after the nation's press had picked up Patricia's story, requests for penicillin began to pour into WPB, the Army, the White House. Only a few applicants, with diseases for which penicillin has been proved effective,* got it (one who did died nonetheless...
...their souvenirs were 1,671 dead Japanese (so far counted), sodden, mustard-colored bags of dusty, mustard-colored flesh ballooning n the humid sunlight, attracting only flies and burial squads. Soon to be souvenirs were isolated Jap units which had taken refuge in the slimy shadow of nearby man grove swamps.

When 489 people died in Boston's Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire, the Monitor refrained from running pictures, or horrifying descriptions of the victims' screams, but did give Page One display to the story and printed all victims' names. And the Monitor today, as it never did in World War I, covers war news straight. Mentioning casualties and cannon in its clean, unruffled prose, it realistically...
