Contrary to popular opinion, said Dr. Ewing, cancer cells are very like normal cells in growth and structure. (This opinion was amplified last week by Pathologist Balduin Lucke of the University of Pennsylvania, who planted cancer cells in a frog's eye, studied the cell growth under a microscope. Cancer tissue, said Dr. Lucke, does not bloom wildly, but spreads "in definite, well-defined patterns...
Take something immensely more complex than an electron: a living cell. When the cell is "ready" to divide, the centrosome separates and moves to opposite sides, the chromosomes line up in the middle and then split evenly; then some thing nips in the sides of the cell to a wasp-waisted constriction, and finally the cell divides into two healthy duplicates of its original self. Biologists have the devil's own time trying to explain this mysterious, well-drilled maneuver. In Strömberg's view, it is initiated and controlled by an "immaterial wave of organization." Though...
...developing embryo, far more complex than a single cell, has a commanding genie and subordinate genii for each organ, each cell. So has an adult organism. Even colonies of individuals may have a commanding genie, as when the marine animals called Portuguese Men-of-War gather in a cluster which behaves like a single animal, with groups of individuals told off to perform various organic functions. Finally, the whole universe, which is in constant evolution, must have a supreme genie-the Cosmos or World Soul...

But in his cell in Gallatin County jail was a long table covered with pencils and copy paper, and Tip Reynolds at week's end was busily editing his next issue...
...returned to Manhattan. Last week he announced that Atlas would split, like a cell, into two parts-one to stay with him in the money business, the other to be grafted to the lusty body of U. S. aircraft's Curtiss-Wright Corp...
