Into the loudspeaker when it was working again Convict Mooney poured the sorry tale that has become his lifework. (In his San Quentin cell the walls are lined with 20 volumes of legal records in his case.) Rambling back to his childhood, he explained how a beating when he played hookey from school "made Tom Mooney rebel"; how his activities as an agitator caused San Francisco's Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to take "possession of the District Attorney's Office"; how when the Preparedness Day bomb exploded he and his wife were elsewhere. Said he: "Tom Mooney...
Inspiring loyalty in all, he helped to make the Student Council a dignified representative of college opinion. For the first time young sinners went to him trusting instead of fearing, and the Dean's office became less a death cell and more a source of friendly counsel. He clasped the House plan to his heart and brought up Dunster with the care and patience of a successful father.

...sake of knowledge, experimental biologists tweak the nose of Nature by causing plants and animals to produce offspring without proper parentage. Tadpoles have been coaxed out of unfertilized frogs' eggs; live, healthy rabbits have been born after a conception which took place m a_ glass vessel; cell fragments of sea urchin eggs-fragments not even containing the female nucleus-have been fertilized with hypertonic sea water. Reported last week was a new fraud on Nature: the fertilization of holly and other plants with a chemical instead of natural pollen...
...blood develops substances which destroy certain germs and viruses that invade the body, or 2) body tissues develop resistance to agents of disease. Neither explanation covers the temporary immunity to infantile paralysis which distemper confers on monkeys. Dr. Dalldorf reasoned that "both viruses require, for their propagation, a common cell protein or other substance which the conjugation of the first virus exhausts and thereby prevents the multiplication of [the] other virus." If he and his associates are correct, they believe that they have discovered "a new immunity mechanism in the virus field." And if they have done so, they...
