Fifteen years ago, Yale Anatomist Harold Saxton Burr and New York University Gynecologist Louis Langman began to experiment with electrical tests for cancer. They had Yale Physicist Cecil T. Lane build a special microvoltmeter, which measures electrical potentials in microvolts (one-millionth of a volt). Last week, Researchers Burr and Langman announced preliminary results in diagnosing* cancer of the female genital tract...
Keep It Crisp. "I didn't know how to draw women at first," Caniff, admittedly no anatomist, recalls. "Women are always harder to draw than men.

Last week the cadaver crisis was viewed with alarm by experts on both sides of the Atlantic: Dr. Neville Goodman of London, Anatomist Melvin Knisely of the University of Chicago, Dr. Howard Curl of the University of Tennessee. The shortage is even worse in Britain than in the U.S.; British students have been cut down from a prewar standard of 16 students per body to an average of 20 students. The most serious shortage, both in Britain and the U.S., is of female bodies (especially young ones), important for the training of obstetricians and gynecologists. At best, only about...
