...clock, one night in 1919, a messenger came to the jail where Karolyi had imprisoned Communist Bela Kun. In his cell, Kun was informed that Karolyi had quit, that Kun was free to set up a soviet republic in Hungary. Said Bela Kun later: "All night I could not get it out of my head-es ging zu glatt, es ging zu glatt-it went too smoothly." The 133-day Red Terror that followed gave Hungarians a psychic shock which laid them wide open to the blandishments of Germany...
...three-foot-long projectile was described by the Army last week. It is the M-12, a bazooka-like rocket launcher consisting of a factory-loaded plastic tube and tripod, weighing 35 Ibs. in all. A one-shot piece designed for close-range use, it is fired by dry-cell batteries, is replaced forthwith by a new barrel; the empty goes to the rear for a new loading. By a wire hookup, several M-12s can be fired at once by the same gunner...
...Rock was proud, but not that proud. He wanted it distinctly understood that he was making no claims of having created a test-tube baby. He has succeeded in thus fertilizing three ova. One of his products had reached the three-cell stage of growth. But Dr. Rock modestly doubted that science would ever be able to reproduce the complex of hormones and other substances in a mother's body required to develop the billions of cells that make up a human embryo. His experiments, however, have made it possible for the first time to see the beginnings...
Trial Rabbits. The Harvard experiments are a development from similar work on rabbits by Biologist Gregory Pincus at Clark University (TIME, March 12, 1934). Dr. Pincus, after fertilizing rabbits' eggs with sperm in glass, planted the resulting cells in a female rabbit's uterus and she bore normal, healthy bunnies.* Other investigators have nursed a monkey's egg, fertilized in its mother's body, to the eight-cell stage in glass. Six years ago Philadelphia's Cancer Specialist Stanley Philip Reimann, by pricking a human ovum with a glass needle, succeeded in stimulating...
...unit number, base and other matters. The commandant follows up by threatening to shoot Captain Spencer unless the surprised sergeant spills some more. The sergeant spills. In another part of the camp, another sergeant is getting the reverse treatment: after a scary but harmless session in a hotbox cell, he is lured into blabbing by kindness and good food. Soon the commandant knows the bomber unit's specialty, range, materiel, and the fact that it plans a major raid within 24 hours...
