When trying to point to a really nonviolent community, anthropologists are usually forced to resort to the Arapesh of New Guinea or the Pygmies of the Ituri rain forest in the Congo. The human impulse to violence cannot be completely denied or suppressed. When that is tried, the result is often an inner violence in man that can burst out all the more fiercely later. At times the U.S. displays a kind of false...

Sure enough, when he had basic penicillin preparations put through careful laboratory separation procedures, two fractions appeared: a pure penicillin that did not cause reactions in sensitized guinea pigs and a minute quantity of a second substance that produced violent reactions. This second substance proved to be a large protein molecule, with part of the penicillin molecule attached. The protein can be removed in the final stages of manufacture, thus making injected penicillin much safer for the non-sensitized patient...
