...conditioning engineers would be delighted to find a concise compromise, but they insist that you do not deceptively oversimplify an essentially complex condition...
Fact is that both Mathematics for the Million and Science for the Citizen are not works of popularization at all, in the ordinary sense, but textbooks or reference books. The former is full of difficult mathematics, the latter of intricate analyses, complex charts and diagrams, formidable mathematical and chemical equations. Professor Hogben has even inserted lists of questions and problems at the ends of his chapters for those who take their learning hard...
...completely replace silk as raw material. It never did because, among other reasons, it lacked silk's elasticity (a rayon stocking, for example, wrinkles instead of clinging to the knee and sharp-eyed women maintained they could tell the difference at a glance). The new fibre (made of complex nitrogen compounds, among them cadaverine*), as silky as silk itself, can be produced in sizes one-tenth to one-seventy-fifth finer than silk filament, and in some sizes has 150% greater tensile strength. Its elasticity is such that it can be stretched up to 700% of its normal length...
...Hitler, who appropriates the democratic idea of self-determination to strengthen a totalitarian regime, really wanted peace he would not insist that so complex a problem as the transfer of Sudetenland be settled in so short a time. He would readily permit calm negotiations to bridge the gap between his "final" memorandum and Benes' "promise...
Last week at a meeting of the Atlantic County Medical Society, 60-year-old Dr. Samuel Stern of Atlantic City announced that he had successfully used a new drug, Arthranol, for the treatment of arthritis. Arthranol is a highly complex salt made from a nitrogen compound, phosphorus and iodine. Since most doctors believe that a focus of bacterial infection is responsible for arthritis they have leaned toward vaccine treatment. Dr. Stern has long held that the most important beneficial elements in a vaccine are the aminoacids produced by bacteria. In hunting for a more potent form of aminoacid...
