...hundreds of hands dealt after one, two, three and four shuffles, Mr. Woodruff shows that it takes at least four good shuffles to produce the proper quota of uneven distribution. With the help of an M. I. T. colleague, he has invented a machine controlled by a 52-lobe irregular cam which is designed to deal a pack into hands of the ideal random type in four seconds...
...pursued through dozens of imaginative infernos that mirror the modern world. Most of these drawings were made in his square, asbestos-shingled studio in Bethel, Conn., which resembles a shooting gallery.

And at 9 p. m. every night something happened which threw the tests entirely askew. Dr. Pease and Assistant Pearson...
...also learn that the Lawrences, D.H. and Frieds, when they were living with Murry and Katherine Hansfield, created a domestic situation which humbler people would have been forced to terminate in a week. Night after night Lawrence, and remember it was a small house, cried out at irregular intervals in an extremely loud voice, "Jack is killing me!", and this was done when Lawrence was in full possession of his health and faculties. On another occasion Lawrence turned on Murry and shouted," You're an obscene bug, suckling my life away!" And still the Murrys did not move...
