...clue. Sometimes a victim of "MG" does better after his thymus gland is removed. Searching for the explanation, Szent-Gyorgyi, who has a Cambridge Ph.D. in biochemistry besides his M.D., spent years doing delicate chemical dissections of the thymus glands of calves, supplied by Chicago's Armour & Co. The trail ran out. Szent-Gyorgyi had found nothing of value to MG patients. But by scientific serendipity he had found something that he hopes will prove to be even better: two substances, apparently hormones. One of them promotes the growth of cancer in mice, so Szent-Gyorgyi named it "promine...
...Good Glove Man." After taking his bachelor of arts degree with honors in history, Pearson briefly stuffed sausages in the Hamilton, Ont., branch of Armour & Co. (he was later to be accused by the Soviet news agency, Tass, of starting his career in an armaments factory). Saturdays, he played third base for the semi-pro Guelph Maple Leafs. "No batter," says Teammate Dink Carroll, now a Montreal Gazette sports columnist, "but a good glove man."

...this year under the growing pressure of synthetic rubber, which now has 73% of the U.S. market. Chemical prices have declined 5% in the past two years because of overcapacity, which has been aggravated by the entry into the business of such heavyweights as W. R. Grace, Schenley, Armour, and several oil companies...
...grand jury, thus far, has cast 3M as the heavy in the Justice Department's latest antitrust drama. It has named ten other companies and the Illinois Institute of Technology's Armour Research Foundation as co-conspirators but has not asked for their appearance in court as defendants. Refusing to comment on the charges in detail, 3M President Herbert P. Buetow last week would only say that it is "firm company policy to operate in conformity with the antitrust laws." But he did note pointedly that Justice Department trustbusters spent 15 years looking into 3M's affairs...
