Assisting Mr. Taft are his son Ted (who is also a special member of the Shirley Police Department) and his wife. A veteran who picked up a crippling case of malaria on Guadalcanal, Ted is the doer, the finder, and the fixer for his father--a thousand details devolve on him as he operates a sort of liaison service between the front office, the Villagers, and the contractors. Mrs. Taft, also greying but slightly larger than her husband, concentrates on the wives of the Village and assists such projects as a day nursery for the babies...

In spite of overlapping of ranges, no male made passes at a female of the wrong species. The Army's conclusion: a female mosquito must have other attractions than...
Among the causes of male "sterility" (i.e., subnormal sperm production): mumps (after puberty), gonorrhea, malaria, hot baths, exposure to X rays and other atomic radiation.

As months went by, his headaches recurred; somehow (perhaps with forged prescriptions), Barney got more dope. Says he: "I got in over my head...
...many other ex-combat men with malaria or other recurring tropical diseases have gone the way of Ross? "Not many," says Narcotics Commissioner H. J. Anslinger. Chief reason: a shortage of dope. War cut off the supply of contraband drugs to the U.S., and much of the obtainable dope is so watered down that it will not support a habit. Latest U.S. addiction figures: one person per 3,000-one-third as high as after World...
