...Cuse's obscure but active Vimalert Co. Ltd. has been reconditioning and selling planes and parts here & there-including, through Amtorg, the U. S. S. R.-for the past 15 years. Mr. Cuse is listed with the State Department as a salesman of everything lethal from a bomb to a battleship. When Chief Green tried to put State Department pressure on Mr. Cuse, the latter would not stay pressured. He demanded a license to sell $2,777,000 worth of aviation equipment to the Spanish Reds and, amid a great sweep of national headlines and much furore in official...
Connoisseurs of typhoons, the Filipinos thought little of it when one of these lethal storms whipped straight across the lower portion of Luzon fortnight ago. Only ten or 15 people were killed and a few hundred houses razed. But like a man who rejoices at escaping the jaws of a crocodile only to be crushed by its flailing tail, Filipinos began to think differently when the backlash of the typhoon curled back and caught northern Luzon. The fury of the storm had abated but the heavens over the three northwestern provinces of the island suddenly liquefied. Through those provinces-Nueva...
Things are often said to be just like Greek tragedies, but "Winterset" really is. One vast web of highly improbable coincidence is woven so elaborately and so ingeniously that terrified suspense bangs on the turn of each ironical development.

...marry the boss's unappealing daughter. For this high hurdle in ambition's path he gets up courage by a brief affair with a dance-hall hostess (Frances Farmer), not the least of whose charms is a convenient knack of converting beer trays into lethal missiles in a barroom brawl. When Glasgow goes off to marry his heiress, the eccentric Swede foreman (Walter Brennan) who has been his best friend stays on to marry the dance-hall girl. It takes a full generation for Barney Glasgow to count the gains and losses of this move. The final audit...
Because roundworms and earthworms look alike, from time immemorial the lethal effects of roundworm vermicides have first been tried on earthworms before application to humans. Only last spring Pharmacologist Glenn Llewellyn Jenkins of the University of Maryland, chemist and assiduous inventor of synthetic drugs, published an article in the Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association on "Rational Use of the Earthworm for the Evaluation of Vermicides." This profoundly agitated Pharmacologist Paul Dudley Lamson of Vanderbilt University, caused him to write a vigorous rebuttal which Science published last week. Snapped Professor Lamson: "The human Ascaris [roundworm] is a parasitic animal living...
