...devastated East picked itself up, dried itself off, began burying its dead, Harry Hopkins flew to join the six New England Governors in Boston. To $500,000 from the Red Cross he added the promise of "unlimited funds" and 100,000 workers from WPA. Disaster Loan Corp. (subsidiary of RFC) offered rehabilitation loans. After five days, some communities were still isolated, train service had not been restored on the full New York-to-Boston run, the known dead had passed 600, the estimated damage half a billion dollars...

They anesthetized five immature male guinea pigs, made slits in their skins, pushed a disc-shaped ovarian hormone tablet, weighing from eight to 16 milligrams, into each slit, and stitched up the incision. There was no local reaction but a tight coat of connective tissue began to grow around the tablets. After six months the guinea pigs' male sex organs had atrophied, their rudimentary male mammary glands had become greatly enlarged. The tablets were then removed, dried, weighed. It was found that each guinea pig had absorbed from three to four milligrams of a tablet...
