...PROGRESS OF JULIUS-Daphne du Maurier-Doubleday, Doran ($2.50). Julius Levy was bred in the gutters of a Paris suburb, son of a Jew huckster who choked his buxom wife to death one night when Julius found her in bed with the landlord's son. Julius and his father straggled off to Algiers. There, orphaned, Julius learned to steal, snuggle in the arms of a Negro laundress, consider the English a "race of fools." Presently, accompanied by a 14-year-old prostitute disguised as a boy, Julius was en route to London. In London he followed the success story...
Maurice O'Sullivan was born and bred in the Great Blasket, a small Gaelic island just northwest of the coast of Kerry, "where the storms of the sky and the wild sea beat without ceasing from end to end of the year and from generation to generation against the wrinkled rocks which stand above the waves that wash in and out of the coves where the seals make their homes...
Tongue Sirs: Although a trifle less than 100 years old, I am an ardent reader of TIME, the most fascinating and informative of any of the magazines to which I subscribe, and if this characterizes me as a freak, I feel deeply complimented.

This misguided man Abbott, who, on my birth...
Cancer by Inheritance The University of Chicago's remarkable Professor Maud Slye last week did two remarkable things: 1) She autopsied her 119,185th mouse. 2) She published in the American Journal of Cancer strong evidence that susceptibility to cancer is inheritable. But the susceptibility can be bred out of a family by judicious marriage. Like light hair, it is a genetically recessive characteristic, whereas resistance to cancer is like dark hair, a dominant characteristic. Susceptibility alone probably is not enough to insure a person's developing a cancer. There must also be an external factor (a bruise...
...beings to see if she can increase the incidence of intestinal tumors. If so, she hopes to prove that some elements of human diet, such as heat, alcohol and condiments (never present in animal diets), are external hazards which cause cancer in susceptible humans. She says cancer can be bred out of humans in two generations. Two individuals, both of them entirely resistant to cancer, will breed children also free from cancer. An individual susceptible to the disease, when bred to a resistant, will have exempt children. But, because one parent was a potential cancer subject, the children although themselves...
