...That, I can believe, is true," Mrs. Edna Baldwin, 58 year old teacher of the University of Michigan, says in support...
...complete unity," the clubs have selected a provisional board of officers, and will submit a charter to the Student Council at its meeting Monday night, Frank B. Baldwin, provisional President of the compromise organization, said last night...
After importing six of the creatures 18 months ago, Dr. Baldwin has bred thousands of them, which he alternately bombards with X rays and gorges with blood. About 400 roentgens has generally been considered a lethal dose for man (see MEDICINE). But a mature kissing bug, Dr. Baldwin finds, can survive 50,000 roentgens. When he bombarded small spots on young kissing bugs with 2,000,000-volt X rays, he found the cells apparently unaffected. But when the insect ate, setting off the mechanism of cell division and molting, the latent damage appeared. The irradiated spots developed blisters...
...mechanism of radiation damage is still little understood. In experiments, Dr. Baldwin irradiated a bug sealed inside a chamber containing nitrogen. The oxygen deficiency slowed the bug's cell division, and when it molted, the bug showed two to three times less radiation damage than bugs that were irradiated in normal air. Dr. Baldwin concluded that oxygen deficiency improved radiation resistance. Since cells in humans are continually dividing, man may never hope to achieve an insect's resistance. But Dr. Baldwin is hopeful that the study of his kissing bugs will lead to basic knowledge of how radiation...
...second period was much less onesided, as Dave Bohn scored again for the varsity, while Dick Austenhymer and former Crimson star Moe Baldwin tallied for BLC. But during that period, the varsity's chances were seriously damaged when Lamont left the game with a sprained ankle. Except when Charlie Devens substituted for a few minutes of the fourth period, attacks Bohn, Andy Leaf, and Jerry Pyle had to stay in for the rest of the game...
