...imported Republican stumpster, "didn't think enough of our boys to marry one of them but now she comes to tell us the Constitution is in danger." As the campaign entered its homestretch last week, ruddy, popular, back-slapping Governor Brann was given a good chance to beat sober Senator White. Otherwise everything looked Republican. Overwhelmingly for Landon in all polls and soundings, Maine was generally conceded to be in the GOPocket for November as surely as it had been in every Presidential year but one (1912) since 1856. Hence its choices of a Senator, Governor and three Congressmen...

Stimulated, Romeo is madly in love with Juliet. Sober, he has no use for her. Kidnapped by his manager to keep him out of trouble, Romeo is chased across the U. S. by Juliet and Nicky, finally corralled for a radio broadcast which gives fame to Juliet and to Sing Baby Sing a final series of musical numbers...
Such cases of "sex change" fascinate not only tabloid editors but also serious students of the tremendous complexity and almost infinite variations of human hermaphroditism. To sober medical men, it does not seem strange that Nature some times blurs sexual development in men & women. Biologists say there is no such thing as absolute sex. Anatomists recognized a consistent parallelism between the genital structures of male & female. Recent research on such female sex hormones as theelin reveals that the corresponding male hormones are chemically almost identical. Normal men generate traces of female hormones, and vice versa. Thus, being male or female...
