Blood-Stream Ferrets. If atomic radiation can inhibit a gland, why not a cancer cell? Dr. Rhoads reported that in some cases radioactive iodine does seem to control thyroid cancer. Exhibit A: at Manhattan's Montefiore Hospital a patient whose cancerous thyroid gland had been removed was discovered to have cancerous daughter cells from the thyroid scattered throughout his body. When he was given radioactive iodine, the radioactive atoms hunted down the cancer cells like ferrets...
...this chaotic juncture the Duquesne company offered a 5% rise. George, in his cell, had a change of heart. He apologized to the court and even demanded that he be let out of jail so that he could persuade his union to accept the new proposal. The court agreed. But when George was out of the coop, he immediately maneuvered his union into rejecting any settlement until the court lifted the injunction. The city gave in. The injunction was withdrawn...
...pierce some clouds ; so Dr. Walter Baade of Mt. Wilson, Calif, photographed the proper part of the sky with infra-red light. His plate showed a dim, ghostly shape (see cut). Drs. Stebbins and Whitford, encouraged, used infra-red light of still longer wave length. They attached a photoelectric cell and an infra-red filter to the Mt. Wilson 60-inch telescope and swept it back & forth across the area where the nucleus ought to be. Their calculations showed a strong elliptical bulge. The happy astronomers did not claim that this was the Milky Way's actual nucleus...
...Whitford hitched another photoelectric cell to a telescope, this time Mt. Wilson's giant 100-incher. As the bands raced past, they knocked from the cell a fluctuating electric current. Dr. Whitford shot the current into an "oscilloscope" to make the fluctuations visible. He took a picture of their pattern of peaks and valleys, then measured the diffraction bands, and from them calculated the diameter of the star...
...black bread, sausage and the inevitable vodka. "The first toast," said Cobin, "was for friendship. The second was for victory. I've forgotten what the third one was for, because I was halfway through drinking it when I woke up the next morning back in my original improvised cell." Last week they were released after signing statements that they were not spies and had not been mistreated. Their Russian "opposite numbers" had been released July...
