Squibb explains: U.S.P. standards call for 98 tests, consuming 125 hours, at eleven steps in the manufacture, while Squibb's quality control requires 374 tests, taking 406 hours, at 35 stages. Squibb runs a three-hour test on one of the alcohols used in manufacturing, another of 16 hours on corn-steep liquor, and one of 22 hours on city water. The U.S.P. requires none of these. Moreover, Squibb offers its penicillin G in twelve different strengths, dosages and combinations, some of which make no money, while most manufacturers of generic penicillin G make only...
...company commander took a bullet under his left eye and fell dead. Within minutes, all the company's officers had been either killed or wounded, many by snipers lashed in tall trees to steady their aim.

For their fortitude they were rewarded with such rarities as Brandt's cormorants, tufted puffins, pink-footed shearwaters and a couple of black...

Last week a high-speed train, manufactured by the Budd Co., hit 156 m.p.h. on a 21-mile strip of New Jersey test track. Financed by the Federal Government, the speedster promises three-hour service in October between Washington and New York, cutting present track time by 45 minutes. For long-haul service, however, the future remains gloomy on U.S. railroads. Only last month, B. F. Biaggini, president of the Southern Pacific Co., told a West Coast audience that "the long-distance passenger...
