...first cellular growth of the new U.S. Army was complete before Pearl Harbor. More than 1,700,000 men were under arms, had been parceled out to tactical divisions, behind-the-lines outfits, housekeeping commands. Last week the cells were in division; the Army was off on another multiplication process. Lieut. General Lesley James McNair announced that he would form 32 more fighting divisions during 1942. General McNair's word was "activation"-military lingo for the birth of a new outfit in all the complex panoply of modern weapons, modern organization. He announced that three new divisions would...
...chief job of the consular police was organization of the Ronin, cellular organizations of youths educated in U.S. schools and preserved in their devotion to the Mikado by classes in Japanese schools. For these the Consul General chose many of the teachers, and they were probably spies too. Both the consular police and the Ronin were financed by the Consul General...
Shapiro has not yet allowed his pregnant virgins to give birth, chiefly because he is not interested in biological pranks but in study of cellular and embryonic development. A further reason: callous to the delicate distinctions and aims of science, newshawks might well sensationalize his discoveries, warn damsels to shun snowdrifts, wear woolies. And, like all parthenogeneticists, Shapiro must keep in mind the fate of pioneering Dr. Pincus, who was once quietly dropped from Harvard because his rabbit tinkering was judged to be in rather bad academic taste...
...torpedoes launched from aircraft, two from destroyers, one from a battleship and three from cruisers; and about three hundred 8-in. shells, 4.7-in. shells and other small stuff. PArtly this wonderful shock-worthiness was due to her thick, modern alloy-steel armor, partly to an intricate system of cellular compartments, "blisters," "torpedo bulkheads" - all contributing to her great 118-ft. beam and calculated to isolate and minimize each hole in her skin. But the crew's faith in her buoyancy was betrayed. The British rescued about 100 of them, but had to move off when submarines were reported...
...Mannerheim and Maginot Lines, but the tissues of the human brain, and he thinks they are still in good order, even though they are taking a terrific battering in these times. Mr. Sherwood is distinctly uneasy when he looks at the part America is playing in this cellular shell-fire, but he doesn't get around to saying what we should do about it. It's just as well, because a man as aroused as Mr. Sherwood may not have his own brain cells under discipline...
