...revolts spread quickly through prisons around the country, increasing tension everywhere. This week Southern Michigan State Prison at Jackson, 75 miles west of Detroit, exploded. Almost 200 of the prison's toughest convicts went wild in a disciplinary isolation block. Holding four guards as hostages, they wrecked their cell block, smashing everything in sight. Then, led by a robber named "Crazy" Jack Hyatt and an auto thief named Earl Ward, the rioting cons forced their way into other sections of the prison.

Brought up in Manila slums, Celia Mariano took a B.S. degree with honors at the University of the Philippines. In April 1940 she joined a Communist cell in Manila, later took part in the Huk anti-Japanese resistance movement.

Beyond Death. The danger zone, Luyet found, was around - 20° F. At that temperature, moisture in the experimental tissues freezes into ice crystals, rearranging each cell's molecular structure into a "thermodynamically stable configuration" -the scientists' fancy name for death. What the experimenters needed was a quick-freeze system that would jump through the "death stage" in a split second, turn their research tissues into a vitreous, glasslike state before internal liquid had a chance to crystallize...
...Elementary Questions. It is in fundamental research that atomic medicine comes into its own. Here the frontiers of man's knowledge of how his body works, and how its every cell functions, are being extended day by day. To the men with their eyes on the future, the most elementary things, seemingly the simplest, are by far the most important. Certainly they have proved so far to be the most baffling...
...last analysis, it is vastly more important to know what goes on in the body's individual cells than in the body as a whole. One noted cancer researcher says that there is properly no such thing as "cancer research"-only study of the life processes of cells. For, once the normal life processes are better understood, it should be but a step to find out wherein the life of a cancer cell differs from that of a normal cell, and another step or series of steps to find a way to eliminate the difference...
