...Abraham's Sarah bore Isaac 14 years after Ishmael entered their Canaan tent. Jacob's Rachel finally bore Joseph and Benjamin after Jacob begat ten sons and a daughter by other women of his tenthold. A reasoned explanation of such phenomena was offered last week by a zoologist of Burlington...
...modern history of syphilis began in 1905 when Zoologist Fritz Schaudinn of Germany discovered the specific cause of infection. One year later August von Wassermann of Germany devised his Famed blood test for diagnosing the disease. In 1910 Biochemist Paul Ehrlich, once more of Germany, after 605 laboratory experiments, finally hit upon a positive ure for syphilis. Popularly called 606 or Salvarsan, this Ehrlich remedy was technically a compound of arsenic known as arsphenamine. With the cause & cure well in hand, world medicine was fully equipped to move forcefully against one of the worst scourges of the human race...

Angry, desperately sincere, perfectly aware that the overwhelming weight of opinion was against him, a distinguished 69-year-old zoologist glared at his colleagues, raised his voice, bounced up & down on his heels last week at the British Association for the Advancement of Science convention in Norwich. It was just a century ago that Charles Robert Darwin, cruising in the Beagle, landed on the Galapagos Islands where his theories of organic evolution, transformation of species and natural selection began to take definite shape. Vastly irked last week was Dr. Ernest William MacBride, longtime professor of zoology at London...
