...heavens. Born at Gothenburg, Sweden 57 years ago, a student of physics, mathematics and celestial mechanics, listed and starred (voted outstanding by his scientific colleagues) in American Men of Science for distinguished research in stellar motions, statistics and luminosities, Gustaf Strömberg is nevertheless not the kind of scientist to pore myopically over tables and spectrum slides while taking the stars for granted. During the long nights on the mountain overshadowing Pasadena, he has done a lot of unorthodox thinking about the human mind, the human soul, the World Soul, Cosmic Consciousness, Cosmos, God.

...himself to find out. His method was essentially simple. He got a great many soil samples, mixed them with various germ cultures. If there was any organism in the soil sample that found a germ to its liking, the organism would devour it, thrive in such numbers that the scientist could identify and culture the organism. When Pioneer Dubos told his latest results last week to the American College of Physicians in Cleveland, he got an ovation...
