Though the baby's true sex is determined at conception, its outward appearance can still be altered, through the 16th week, by hormones from the mother's bloodstream. In some of the abnormal cases, nothing need be done-the unusual appearance will fade gradually with growth. In the others, only minor surgery is needed...

He's a goner, of course, as soon as the stuff hits his bloodstream. More nervous mumbling from the natives ("They say this is a bad omen"). Evil forces are clearly trying to prevent Cornel Wilde from rediscovering the uranium mine found by his late brother, poor devil, who was murdered by a steel-clawed Leopard Man. Also barring his way, on his Technicolor plunge into spine-tingling British East...
