...each region in the cell. These figures, in turn, give a strong hint of what chemicals are present in each of the cell's parts. Dr. Barer hopes that his apparatus will allow biologists to watch fragile, transparent cells as they live their normal lives and to chart the chemical reactions that take place inside them. When science can take a closer look at living cells, it will know much more about the delicate, mysterious chemical processes that are called life...
...that mean that the economic sky was going to fall? There was no sign of such a catastrophe in the barnyard-or in the sky. Despite the big rise in prices, commodity prices had still not yet reached their boomtime peak of 1948 (see chart).

While his classmates swooped off for weekends in Los Angeles, he often hung back to take engines apart, work at machine guns, pore over weather charts and navigation logarithms. Result: after seven years in fighters, he was called from Hawaii to fly the first of the Army's Flying Fortresses because he was the rare Army airman who could find his way around with a navigator's sextant and chart. From then on his career was set as a big-plane...
