Most cytologists (cell scientists) had believed that the virus multiplies in the protoplasm which surrounds the nerve cell's nucleus, much as the white of an egg enfolds the yolk. Not so, the Yale researchers found: the virus invades the nucleus itself as well as the cytoplasm. Apparently it multiplies within the nucleus and, while there, competes with the host cell for the nourishing nucleoproteins which are manufactured in the nucleus...
...crisis in a single cell may come when it is no longer able to manufacture enough nucleoproteins to sustain both itself and the multiplying virus. What happens when this takes place on a large scale is that many nerve cells are destroyed. Unlike most of the body's other cells, they cannot be replaced. Once they are destroyed, the muscles controlled by them wither from disuse, and lasting paralysis results; if the cells are only damaged, the paralysis may be temporary as the cells are repaired and again control the muscles...

When the U.S. marshal held up an odd-looking tool he had been carrying, he explained: "That's the handiest gadget. It opens bottle tops and cans and things."

A professor of pharmacology for 45 years, gentle, genial Dr. MacNider also served off & on as village doctor in the town of Chapel Hill, spent his time between calls and classes puttering about his garden reading philosophy, or suddenly popping up on neighbors' doorsteps with a bouquet in his hands...
