Best Testimonial. Physicians who had no objection to using a drug made from rotted clover that killed cattle were more wary of one touted as a rat poison. But warfarin, believes Chemist Link, is the best anticoagulant now available: it can be used in smaller doses than dicoumarin; it can be given by mouth, by injection or rectally. It works fairly rapidly, and an overdose can be promptly canceled with a form of vitamin K. Best testimonial to its safety: Chemist Link disclosed that warfarin is the anticoagulant (unnamed by Press Secretary James Hagerty) that President Eisenhower has been taking...
...means raid in most European languages, and the picture describes an attempt by the French narcotics squad to break up an international drug cartel. Raw materials: principally opium-smuggled from the Balkans in the wall of the men's room in a day coach.

"One of our greatest dangers lies in an anti-intellectualism fostered by school authorities who should be among its most valiant opponents.

...Scientists," says a California physicist, "are this century's version of the explorers of earlier times" And yet, as a nuclear chemist says, "most scientists are rather revoltingly normal in their manners and their way of life." These nine leading lights of U.S. science prove both points by their composite beginnings, their curiosities and their achievements. They also prove why the nation's scientific resources are basically sound and promising...
