Carl Albert is a fiercely competitive little man who was born to an Oklahoma coal miner, took his first schooling in a tiny woodstove-heated school at Bug Tussle (since renamed Flowery Mound). He worked his way through the University of Oklahoma, made the wrestling team, the debating team and produced a brilliant scholastic record in government, his major field. He won a Rhodes scholarship in 1931, took two law degrees at Oxford, where Secretary of State Dean Rusk...

Haldane did not get typhoid-but he caught a sand-fly fever, which was about...
...believe that some kinds of bacteria occasionally manage a kind of sexual mating. It is almost impossible to catch them in the act, though, because they have no special sex organs, and often when they cling together it is not for love. But at least one kind of microscopic bug has a sex life with a difference. Professors Pavel Nemec and Vojtech Bystricky of the Slovak Polytechnical University in Bratislava report that the Caulobacter, a harmless bacterium found in soil, possesses a multi-purpose organ that it often uses for a primitive kind of conjugation...
