Then entered Jeanette Wolff, a former governess whom her friends call "The Trumpet" because she has become one of Berlin's toughest, most vocal anti-Communist delegates. A resolution defying Sokolovsky's order was passed; but below, the mob was waiting for the "traitors." While Red army men and Russian policemen watched, Communist thugs closed in. They pounded the stomach and back of Socialist Otto Bach until he had a hemorrhage. Said Jeanette, who had been put in a concentration camp by the Nazis for being Jewish: "They are mad. This is 1933 all over again...
Last week at the A.M.A. convention in Chicago, Drs. Robert M. Marcussen and Harold G. Wolff of New York Hospital told what they had learned in an eight-year study of migraine. The most likely sufferers are reliable, conscientious, hardworking, ambitious people. They want everything just right, so they overload themselves with responsibilities and then get tense when they find that they can't finish the outsize jobs they have tackled. Their "pernicious emotional states" make the arteries in their heads swell, causing the excruciating pain of migraine...
...ergotamine tartrate as soon as the headache starts. If this fails, try codeine. Also helpful: rest in bed in a quiet, dark room; an ice bag; sympathy from physician, family and friends.

As soon as she heard the news, Barbara, flushed and fluttery, rushed to a phone to tell her father. A quiet girl with shoulder-long hair, she spends her time at home studying the nonhereditary mutations of the fruit fly. Her father, a school principal in New York City, had already heard the news on the radio. Cried he into the phone: "Half the neighborhood's drunk already...
Violent and prolonged anger can play havoc with body tissues, said Dr. Harold G. Wolff of Cornell Medical College. A furious man - or even a peevish one who constantly takes umbrage - gets too much blood in his stomach walls; if he stays angry too long, ulcers may result. The fury or sulking fits aroused by threats to a man's life or his love, said Dr. Wolff, sometimes affects his nose: it may swell up and hurt. A "mad" nose, caught with its resistance down, is easy prey to colds and other infections...
