...causes, few people know John Dewey. To his intimate friends he is a sweet and lovable character. His absentmindedness is fabulous. He sometimes shows up a week late for appointments, goes to the wrong room to meet his classes, has been known to wander into ladies' washrooms. He often goes out into the snow without rubbers or muffler, but rarely catches cold. Despite his absentmindedness, he is scrupulous about fulfilling obligations, never breaks a promise. He used to make it a rule never to read manuscripts submitted to him for criticism by budding philosophers. But applicants learned...
...Coughlinites in the East were organized and articulate enough to plan a parade into the "Jewish-Communist" enemy's territory, Manhattan's Union Square. Father Coughlin called them off. There were indications that he knew he had a bull by the tail.

It not only imitates the songs of many birds but also reproduces, with uncanny fidelity, the cackle of a laying hen, the tentative chirps of young robins...

Standard procedure consists of: 1) skin and diet tests to detect the offending substances; 2) injections or feeding of minute quantities of the allergen until immunity is produced. This procedure takes many weary months, often years, has brought a good percentage of successful results with victims of every kind of allergy-from canteloupe to horsehair...
...Philadelphia last week met 5,000 men who have seen and caused more blood and wounds than any 5,000,000 of their fellows. Two hundred years ago such men were rated on a level with barbers (a trade they often combined with theirs). But no one last week could have so mistaken their social standing. Neat, spry and greying, the American College of Surgeons wandered among the palms of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel surveying wall-racks steely-bright with surgical knives, forks and spoons, rooms crowded with electrical vibrating beds, weird steel scaffolds for broken limbs, gently breathing rubber...
