...myth. Chicago University's Frank Lillie showed some years ago why this is true of cattle and not in species which produce litters, such as pigs and dogs. He found that the sterility and abnormal sex development of female of bovine mixed twins is due to a fusion of the blood vessels of the twin embryos' placental circulatory system, so that twin calves have a common blood supply. Sex differentiation begins in the male embryo earlier than in the female, and the sex-differentiating male hormones (chemical controllers of development) in the blood stream shift the female twin...

...moral responsibility and utterly unfitted to rule a modern city. In no department is Tammany less fitted than in that dealing with the enforcement of law and order. And yet the Tammany candidate for Mayor seriously asks an electorate to vote for his ticket on the plea that Fusion has ruined the City. Rather, "to end banditry" and make parks and streets safe for all, the LaGuardia and Dewey team deserves to be sent in with a large majority...
