...Hercules Powder Co. wanted to know why, why, WHY Dr. Henricus Johannes Stander refused to remain as chemist. At 28 he was one of the best colloid chemists in the U. S. Was it money? No! Why, then? Because, blurted Dr. Stander, a Yale medical graduate, son of a South African country doctor: "Because I'm going to be the damnedest best obstetrician in this country." A Manhattan event last week marked him as superlatively good, if not the best. The vast new medical centre of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical College Association opened for patients...
...shame that Soviet women, enjoying the same status as men, should make themselves worse than men by using cosmetics!" she blurted. "The practice is grossly immoral. . . .

...thousands of wild goats which infest the island, and two men who live there the year round. They slaughter only the billy goats. The hides go to the U. S., the meat to the Mexican Army. Parts which the Mexican Army does not want the men grind into fine powder, sell to the Chinese for an aphrodisiac. A wealthy old man has a cabin on the island, in the hills where the goats are thickest. He gets his aphrodisiac by sniffs-each year his yacht leaves him there, takes him away refreshed...
