...Cabinet, the secret police. Government plans had been drawn up and every preparation made. Yet not until it was all over did the world know that Poland's most powerful son, the shaggy-browed old walrus, Marshal Josef Pilsudski had died of cancer of the stomach and liver. At 9 p. m. a State reception for the French Ambassador was suddenly canceled. Police patrols that already had their orders moved out to strategic street corners. Every theatre, cafe and dance hall in Warsaw was closed, indefinitely. Cabinet Ministers hustled to a meeting. Crowds began to gather before the gates...
...cows and a 1,200-lb. Guernsey bull named Klondike Iceberg-first bull ever born in Little America; 15 emperor penguins, of which one was decidedly indisposed; the knowledge that seal meat looks like liver, but tastes different; indisputable proof that the common cold and other germs flourish in Antarctica; samples of unidentified bugs which live in snow and melted ice pools; the memory of four months alone in an ice hut, "lonely as hell," studying weather conditions, reading 85 books and letting his hair grow to shoulder-length...

After the fever subsided, one-half ounce of cod liver oil was added. She gained weight so rapidly that the caloric value had to be reduced. When swallowing returned, the catheter was placed in her mouth. She still drinks in this manner, lying on her back with her head turned to the side...
...stomachs of those who have never experienced an Eliot House repast, there may lurk the false assumption that Lowell House has a monopoly on worm-ridden fish, bad eggs, wizened grape-fruit, oily orange-juice, moribund chops, all-wool pancakes, bilious liver, vegetables that smell as sweet by any other name, and so forth, down the pallid lists of the oleaginous concatenation of convalescing vitamins served at room temperature and garnished with the cadavers of the insect world. My gorge rises at the thought! I challenge any of the seven cross-sections to greater right to complaint. For the honor...
