...decades of blood-and-thunder headlines, the scramble today, says Tribune Editor Clayton Kirkpatrick, is "to become more relevant to our times." Romanoff's flamboyant American has even changed its name to a more underplayed Chicago Today. The Sun-Times' method was to appoint Yale Graduate Jim Hoge, 33, as its editor. "Our ideal," says Hoge, "is to give all the people a hearing for their point of view. We are selling the Sun-Times as a paper that is changing." Adds Dedmon: "Because of the changes, you can read any of the four papers today...
...itself: the man was Liao Ho-shu, 46, interim chief of Communist China's mission in The Netherlands, and he wanted police protection. After some delay, he was turned over to the Dutch BVD (security police), who whisked him off for interrogation at a spacious, secluded castle called "Hoge Veluwe." "He told us his story from A to C," a Dutch official said later, "but he probably wants to tell the Americans everything from...
Most species breed out serious aberrations like hermaphroditism, but this is not happening in the case of Bothrops insularis. When Dr. Hoge examined pickled specimens collected before World War II, he found a much bigger proportion of normal individuals. Recently, Dr. Hoge went back and collected 68 fresh snakes on the island, plans to coop them up together in pairs in all possible combinations to see whether pairs of hermaphrodites can reproduce without male participation. However they reproduce, the hermaphrodites are comparatively infertile, produce only four to six embryos v. the 20 to 24 of mainland vipers. "In my opinion...
...government withdrew its lighthouse keepers after snakes had killed three of them and the wife of a fourth. They seem to live an ideal life, with plenty of sea birds to prey upon and no enemies. But all is not well in their paradise. Last week Herpetologist Alphonse Richard Hoge of São Paulo's Butantan Institute of serum therapy reported that the snakes were producing more and more offspring that were neither male nor female, but hermaphrodites...
...Hoge collected 164 Bothrops on the island. An assistant dissecting one of them showed him what he thought was a tumor. "That's no tumor," said Hoge. "That's an atrophied embryo." The assistant replied: "It can't be; it came from a male." Both Hoge and the assistant were right; the snake had well-developed male reproductive organs but also female ovaries. Hoge checked his specimens and found that more than half were hermaphrodites. Only 15 were true females, and all of them were sterile. The hermaphrodites are bigger than either true males or females. Most...
