...Yale game did more than place a clammy hand on the end of the football season. It also put a decided crimp in the Phillips Brooks House blood drive, when an alarmingly high percentage of would-be donors were regretfully turned away from the operating table. Too much alcohol in their veins, the doctors said; and the campaign fell short of its goal. Today another drive begins, and with the perils of a Big Weekend safely past, PBH officers dare to hope that the 200-pint quota will...
...supply, Cuba was going to be on short rations at least until spring eased the U.S. shortage and released tankers for the Cuban run. As a stopgap move, the government last week ordered sugar-mill owners to put aside 40 million gallons of blackstrap molasses for the making of alcohol. Combined with gasoline, the alcohol would soon go into motorists' tanks as carburante national, a low-grade, high-knock fuel...
...important thing about Dr. Gollan's experiment: his method, although not startlingly new, proves that a virus can be produced rapidly and cheaply. He took brain tissue from polio-infected mice, chopped it up, put it in an alcohol solution, then precipitated the virus by spinning it in an ordinary laboratory centrifuge. He worked with MM (mouse-monkey) virus, which does not affect human beings; but his method, he believes, can be used to isolate viruses that attack humans. When that is done, researchers can begin work on a vaccine...
...drinking refrain "nobody knows how dry I am" shows real insight into what makes an alcoholic drink, according to Dr. Roger J. Williams of the University of Texas. The alcoholic's craving for alcohol has a physiological or biochemical basis that is not generally understood; his reaction to a given quantity of alcohol is violently different from that of the normal individual: "As long as we deal with the average man we will fail to encounter an alcoholic addict because the average man doesn't become addicted." This physiological basis seems to be inherited: investigators report that alcoholism...
...Anton J. Carlson, dean of U.S. physiologists and president of the Research Council on Problems of Alcohol, was suspicious of white bread. Dr. Carlson pointed an accusing finger at nitrogen trichloride, a bleaching agent used in 90% of all white flour milled in the U.S. The bleaching agent makes wheat protein act like a nerve poison; dogs given large amounts of the bleached flour developed running fits. It may make people nervous, too, reported Dr. Carlson-and may even make it easier for them to become alcoholics. Said he: "Maybe we should provide, without delay, more iron in the education...
