...Nazis found few collaborators among French scientists But one great name, Alexis Carrel, has become anathema to Langevin and other resisters. Throughout the occupation Carrel had plenty of money for research under the big Fondation Franfaise Pour L'Etude Des Probleèmes Humains, created for him by Vichy. Last week Carrel declared that his foundation had concerned itself exclusively with scientific studies inspired by his Man the Unknown. But top-rank scientists charged that the foundation had a distinctly pro-Nazi tinge, that its subsidized sociological studies had served as a front for researches in "racism." After Paris...

White-bearded Dr. Flagg, 56 and the father of twelve, is the man who brought Lindbergh and Dr. Alexis Carrel (now working for Vichyfrance) together to develop their mechanical heart. He also suggested to aviation engineers the principles (first embodied in T.W.A.'s Stratoliner) on which planes could safely take passengers into high altitudes without asphyxiating them. Asphyxiation is Dr. Flagg's special horror, and he thinks the subject should be combined with anesthesia into the science of pneumatology (Dr. Carrel's word...
