France's Pierre Lecomte du Noüy (rhymes roughly with dewey), a topflight biophysicist, is so convinced. Published last week was a 277-page record of his own internal "collision": Human Destiny (Longmans, Green...
Heart Specialist Irvine H. Page and Biophysicist Otto Glasser drained more than half of the dogs' blood, kept them in profound shock for two to three hours. Then, in place of the usual transfusion into a vein, they pumped blood into an artery, under pressure. In 70% of the cases, the dogs survived. In one experiment, dogs were bled to the point of death. Twenty out of 23 were revived after they had been clinically "dead" (no heartbeat or breathing) for five minutes...
Announced in Manhattan last week was a cure for penicillin's handicaps. Dr. Raymond L. Libby, American Cyanamid Co. biophysicist, reported that he had perfected a method of administering the drug by mouth. Now the way has been paved for treatment at home...
...size of the job ahead was indicated by the variety of viewpoints represented on an executive committee which was set up. That committee includes Chairman Finkelstein, Critic Van Wyck Brooks, Educators Lyman Bryson and Lawrence K. Frank, Biophysicist Caryl P. Haskins, Political Scientist Harold D. Lasswell, Sociologist Robert M. Maclver, Physicist Robert J. Havighurst, Philosopher Filmer S. C. Northrop, Catholic Theologians Gerald B. Phelan and Gerald G. Walsh, Astronomer Harlow Shapley and Dean Luther A. Weigle of the Yale Divinity School. There was small hope that such men of good will could do the job before them in time...
...Ralph Walter Graystone Wyckoff, a Rockefeller biophysicist, uses a squeeze-press, an ultracentrifuge (TIME, Feb. 6, 1933), and an X-ray analyzer of crystalline substances. The press enables him to get juices from infected tissue without modifying ingredients in the slightest. The ultracentrifuge, whirling at 50,000 revolutions per minute, separates the ingredients into layers, including one of pure crystalline virus. X-rays prove that this virus, obtained by physical means, is exactly the same as the virus which Dr. Stanley obtained by chemical means...
