Nixon's lung clot was evidently a small one-only "dime-size," speculated Dr. John Lungren, the ex-President's internist. Lungren and Radiologist Earl K. Dore discovered the clot through two recently refined tests using radioactive isotopes. First they injected human albumen tagged with radioactive iodine-131 or technetium into an arm vein. The radiant particles circulated through the small blood vessels of Nixon's lungs, and a scintillation scanner took an electronic "picture" of their distribution. Nixon's scan showed a blank area on the outer side of the right lung: the clot...
...cuchet go on to more ambitious studies-chemistry, physiology, geology, archeology, history, politics, literature, esthetics, philosophy, religion. The cultural scenery of the times flashes by as they careen along the road to knowledge. They are a little ashamed on discovering that "their own organism contained phosphorous like matches, albumen like the whites of eggs, hydrogen like gas lamps," but delighted to learn that "the tongue is the seat of taste, and the feeling of hunger resides in the stomach." Not complete imbeciles, they become suspicious of historians on reading that the Loire during the French Revolution was "red with blood...
...Calcutta." (Aside he said: "As usual I shall permit myself to add salt and soda bicarbonate to the water I may wish to drink during the fast.") Anxious Calcuttans read about the Mahatma's pulse rate, his blood pressure (both diastolic and systolic) and the acetone and albumen in his urine; they stopped rioting...

In the course of one lecture, he whipped an egg out of his pocket, dropped it into a substance which he said would solidify the albumen, whipped it out again and heaved it at the wall over his students' heads. They were relieved to find that the professor was right: the egg bounced...
Ranging from albumen to measles globulin, Professor Cohn's already long list of extractions has only recently been enlarged by two new ones, a synthetic membrane or skin used in treating burns, and a dark brown substance, with possibilities in medical use just beginning to be explored...
