...started, established five U. S. track records and was said to be the greatest horse in the history of U. S. racing when he was retired to the stud of his owner, Samuel 13. Riddle, in 1921. In the 14 years since his first foals became of racing age (1924), Big Red's progeny have won more money than the sons & daughters of any other sire† now living ($2,426,446) and he has become the most famed stallion standing...
...taken in his anatomy in the past four years. Famed Ching Johnson in twelve seasons of big-league hockey has had bones broken in 27 different parts of his body. Even more outstanding may be the records Dave Kerr establishes by the time he is Ching Johnson's age...
...made fame & fortune by grafting monkey and goat glands into decrepit males. Later a Viennese, Dr. Eugen Steinach, finding gland grafts useless, got beneficial results by a small operation which prevented the gradual loss of male hormones, which make men virile. But the real advance in man's age-old search for virility began only: 1) when Dr. Adolf Butenandt of Germany, after treating 62,500 gallons of urine, succeeded in crystallizing one two-thousandths of an ounce of male sex hormone called "androsterone"; 2) when Leopold Ruzicka of Switzerland manufactured a similar substance "testosterone" from...
...inescapable conclusion from this glorification of juvenilia was that the younger you are, the better child art you are likely to produce. At about junior high-school age, or sixth grade, many of the child painters had turned imitative, muddying the pure well of crudity with inhibited attempts to be artistic. But under this age, the hugely scrawled and brightly colored pictures done by little boys & girls showed a splashing freedom of imagery and sometimes a direct seizure of character. They also showed frequent resemblance to the art of those moderns who distort for the sake of design...
...redshift in the spectrum. A decrease in Planck's constant h (energy of light multiplied by its vibration period) might be such a cause. Last year Britain's potent Theorist Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac suggested that the gravitational constant and certain others were dependent on t, the age of the universe, and were therefore slowly altering as the universe gets older. Last month in the Physical Review Mathematicians Samuel Sambursky and Max Schiffer of the Hebrew University in Palestine presented a detailed mathematical treatment of the idea that the universe is not expanding but appears...
