...gathering of Negro convicts without assistance. At the Reformatory for Males in Breathedsville, Md., last week, three inmates had a total of 14 months added to their sentences for savagely beating a guard. In a Washington, D.C.. prison, 38 prisoners in punitive segregation became so noisy, rattling cell doors, throwing food into the corridors, and talking and praying through the night, that tear gas was threatened to restore quiet and order...
...Wichita, Kans., student members of the society are trained to tell their cell leader of any "Communist" influence noted in classroom lectures; by phone, parents belabor the offending teacher and his principal for apologies and admissions of guilt. A Wichita businessman who planned to make a modest contribution to a University of Wichita fund was dissuaded because members of the society were demanding that certain professors and books be thrown out.

...research career Pappenheimer has retained a keen interest in infectious disease. In particular, the diphtheria bacillus has fascinated him. This microscopic organism produces one of the most potent poisons known in biology. The toxin is, in fact, so powerful that a few molecules of it suffice to kill a cell. An easily made by product of the toxin, diphtheria toxoid, is harmless and serves as an excellent immunizing agent. With the virtually universal immunization of children in Europe and the United States, diphtheria has been "licked" in the medical sense. But it still provides many challenging biological questions...
During his Fall Term sabbatical at the University of Amsterdam, Pappenheimer plans to study the broad topic of oxidative phosphorylation. Of particular interest to him is ATP, the major energy-storing compound of the living cell. ATP is involved in the cytochrome oxidizing processes mentioned above. Thus, Pappenheimer's work at Amsterdam will probably yield additional information concerning his old friend, diphtheria toxin...
