When & if a cancer cure ever develops, present indications are that it will be found among the more virulent poisons. Reason: only the deadliest artillery (e.g., poisonous radioactive materials, X rays) can kill a cancer cell. Out last week was the news that during World War II, U.S. cancer specialists had launched an uncommonly interesting study of the cancer-killing possibilities of mustard...
NUREMBERG, October 16 -- Ten condemned Nazi ring leaders died on the gallows in the Nuremberg jail year today, but Hermann Goering, Adolph Hitler's No. 2 man, cheated the noose by swallowing poison in his cell before the death sentence was read...

Exhibit A: at Manhattan's Montefiore Hospital a patient whose cancerous thyroid gland had been removed was discovered to have cancerous daughter cells from the thyroid scattered throughout his body.

Dr. Whitford shot the current into an "oscilloscope" to make the fluctuations visible. He took a picture of their pattern of peaks and valleys, then measured the diffraction bands, and from them calculated the diameter of the star...
