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...
...distinctions of science, bore down on Dr. Pincus to find out how soon mammalian parthenogenesis could be applied to humans. The scientist dodged these embarrassing queries. A spokesman for him huffed: "Dr. Pincus' work will make possible certain manipulations and experiments which will aid in the study of cellular and biological growth. It is ridiculous to even think that such work could be done with human beings. This work will in no way affect the manner of living or customs...
...small amount of oxygen. To find out why, Drs. Davis and Schmitz probed an enormous rat tumor, discovered small pockets of poisonous cyanogen gas along its borders. They also confirmed the presence of cyanogen along the edges of a human tumor. Cyanogen gas, in minute amounts, is a normal cellular waste product, ordinarily passed out into the blood stream through porous cell walls...
