...increasingly important branch of medical training is that given in medical technology courses to prepare laboratory workers to assist medical scientists in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. One of the largest departments of this kind is that at the University of Minnesota, where future technologists must complete a four-year course for a degree.

To insure that no unworthy shall gain control of the Times, no transfer of common shares by a living holder to anyone except Owners Astor and Walter can be made without approval from an austere committee whose members...
...space by some unpuritanical interplanetary visitors, recovers his youth, gets mixed up in an attempt to establish a fascist government in Great Britain-an odd, involved book, written in an exclamatory prose, that is a little like H.
